رِوَايَةِ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ : سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ أَنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْناً فَقَالَ "يَقْضِي اَلرَّجُلُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنِهِ وَ يَقْسِمُ مَا بَقِيَ بَيْنَ اَلْوَرَثَةِ" قُلْتُ فَيُفَرِّقُ اَلْوَصِيُّ مَا كَانَ أُوصِيَ بِهِ فِي اَلدَّيْنِ مِمَّنْ يُؤْخَذُ اَلدَّيْنُ أَ مِنَ اَلْوَرَثَةِ أَمْ مِنَ اَلْوَصِيِّ فَقَالَ "لاَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ اَلْوَرَثَةِ وَ لَكِنَّ اَلْوَصِيَّ ضَامِنٌ لَهُ".


Translation

Hadith.5529 - In the narration of Aban ibn Uthman, it is reported that a man asked Abu Abdullah (as), about a man who had made a will appointing someone as his executor, stating that he had a debt upon him. Abu Abdullah (as), said: "The executor should settle the debt owed by the deceased and then distribute whatever remains among the heirs." The man then asked: "Should the executor distribute what was bequeathed for the debt? Should the debt be collected from the heirs or from the executor?" Imam (as) replied: "It is not to be taken from the heirs; rather, the executor is responsible for it."
