5463 - وَ رَوَى سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ : أَنَّ رَجُلاً كَانَ بِهَمَذَانَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ مَاتَ وَ كَانَ لاَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ فَأَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ عِنْدَ اَلْمَوْتِ وَ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُعْطَى شَيْءٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ فَسُئِلَ عَنْهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَيْفَ يُفْعَلُ بِهِ وَ أَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لاَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ وَ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ عِنْدَ اَلْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ "لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَضَعَ مَالَهُ فِي يَهُودِيٍّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ لَوَضَعْتُهُ فِيهِمْ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فَمَنْ بَدَّلَهُ بَعْدَ مٰا سَمِعَهُ فَإِنَّمٰا إِثْمُهُ عَلَى اَلَّذِينَ يُبَدِّلُونَهُ إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ يَخْرُجُ فِي هَذِهِ اَلْوُجُوهِ يَعْنِي اَلثُّغُورَ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَيْهِ".

Hadith.5463 - Sahl ibn Ziyad narrated from Muhammad ibn Al-Walid from Yunus ibn Yaʿqub: A man in Hamadhan mentioned that his father had passed away. His father was unaware of this matter (the teachings of the Ahl Al-Bayt), and before his death, he made a will instructing that something be given in the way of Allah (swt). Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about how to fulfill this will, and it was explained to Imam (as) that the deceased was unaware of the truth but had made a will at the time of his death. Abu Abdullah (as) said: "If a man had made a will to me to distribute his wealth to a Jew or a Christian, I would fulfill it for them. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'But whoever changes it after hearing it, the sin is only upon those who change it. Verily, Allah (swt) is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.'" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:181) Then Imam (as) added: "Look for someone who is engaged in these paths (meaning the frontier defense posts), and send it to him."
