سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ وُلْدٌ فَزَوَّجَ مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْنِ وَ فَرَضَ الصَّدَاقَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مِنْ أَيْنَ يُحْسَبُ الصَّدَاقُ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمَالِ أَوْ مِنْ حِصَّتِهِمَا قَالَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَالِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الدَّيْنِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, form Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who has children for him, so he got them married, and the dower was necessitated. Then he died. So, from where would the dower be reckoned to be from, the entirety of the wealth, or from their respective shares?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘From the entirety of the wealth. But rather, it is at the status of the debts’.
