1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ أَوْصَتْ إِلَيَّ بِمَالٍ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقِيلَ لَهَا نَحُجُّ بِهِ فَقَالَتِ اجْعَلْهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالُوا لَهَا فَنُعْطِيهِ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلام) قَالَتِ اجْعَلْهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) اجْعَلْهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَمَا أَمَرَتْ قُلْتُ مُرْنِي كَيْفَ أَجْعَلُهُ قَالَ اجْعَلْهُ كَمَا أَمَرَتْكَ إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ فَمَنْ بَدَّلَهُ بَعْدَ ما سَمِعَهُ فَإِنَّما إِثْمُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يُبَدِّلُونَهُ إِنَّ اللهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ أَرَأَيْتَكَ لَوْ أَمَرَتْكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ يَهُودِيّاً كُنْتَ تُعْطِيهِ نَصْرَانِيّاً قَالَ فَمَكَثْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ثَلاثَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَسَكَتَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ هَاتِهَا قُلْتُ مَنْ أُعْطِيهَا قَالَ عِيسَى شَلَقَانَ.

Translation

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Hajjaj ibn al-Khashshab who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who made a will to spend in the way of Allah. She was asked if it could be spent for al-Hajj. She said, ’Spend it in the way of Allah.’ They asked, ‘Can we give to the family of Muhammad (SAW) ?’ She said, ‘Spend it in the way of Allah.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, then said, ‘Spend in the way of Allah as you are required.’ I then said, ‘Command me how to spend it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Spend it as she has commanded you. Allah, most Blessed, most High, has said, “Whoever intentionally changes the will of a deceased person, he has committed a sin. Allah is All-hearing and All-knowing.” (2:181) You must consider if she had asked you to give it to a Jew, would you give it to a Christian?’ He (the narrator) has said. ‘I waited thereafter for three years; then I visited him (the Imam) and asked as I had asked him before. He (the Imam) remained quiet for a while, then said, ‘Send it.’ I then asked, ‘To who must I send it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Give it to ‘Isa Shalqan.’”
