قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَهُودِيٌّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٌّ كَانَتْ لَهُ عِنْدِي أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ فَهَلَكَ أَ يَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أُصَالِحَ وَرَثَتَهُ وَ لَا أُعْلِمَهُمْ كَمْ كَانَ فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى تُخْبِرَهُمْ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A Jew or a Christian had four thousand Dirhams for him in my possession, so he died. Is it allowed for me that I reconcile with his inheritors or (otherwise) don’t let them known how much it was?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, until you inform them’.
