Hadith 47

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Abu Ali Al Ash’ary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws sent to me the bequest of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and it is: – In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is what is being bequeathed by and decided upon by, with regards to his wealth, a servant of Allah-azwj, Ali-asws, seeking the Face of Allah-azwj so that He-azwj would Enter me-asws, by it, in the Paradise, and by it Keep me-asws away from the Fire, and Keep away the Fire from me-asws on the Day in which faces would be whitened and faces would be blackened. What was for me-asws from the wealth at Yanba’a and what is around it, recognised for me-asws therein, is a charity, along with its slaves, apart from Rabaha, and Abu Nayzar, and Jubeyra, who are emancipated, and there is no way for anyone over them, so they are in my-asws Wilayah, who would be working in the property for five Hajj (years). In it is their expenses and their livelihood, and the livelihoods of their families. And along with that, what was for me-asws at the valley of Al-Qura, all of it from the wealth, is for the children of Syeda Fatima-asws, and its slaves are a charity. And what was for me-asws at Badeyma and its people are charity apart from Zureyqa. For him is the like of what I-asws have written for his companions. And what was for me-asws at Azeyna and its people is a charity, and the impoverished, as you know, are a charity in the Way of Allah-azwj. And that which I-asws write, from this wealth of mine, is an Obligation whether I-asws live or pass away. These should be spent in all its spending, seeking by it the Face of Allah-azwj, in the Way of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Face, and the ones with the relationships from the Clan of Hashim-as, and the Clan of Muttalib-as, and the near ones and the far ones. It would be Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws who would be supervising, consuming from it with the goodness, and spending it wherever he-asws sees (the Pleasure of) Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in a Permissible (manner), nothing wrong being upon him-asws in it. If he-asws intends to sell a share from the wealth, so he-asws can pay off the debts by it, so let him-asws do it if he-asws so desires to, and there is nothing wrong upon him-asws in it. And if he-asws so desires, he-asws can make it to be for himself-asws. And that the children of Ali-asws and their slaves and their wealth are to (under the supervision of) Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws. And if the house of Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws is other than the house of charity, and it is inevitable for him-asws that he-asws should sell it, so let him-asws sell it if he-asws so desires to, there is nothing wrong upon him-asws in it. And if he-asws sells, so he-asws should divided its price in three parts. He-asws should make a third of it to be in the Way of Allah-azwj, and a third to be among the Clan of Hashim-as and the Clan of Al-Muttalib-asws, and he-asws should make a third to be among the progeny of Abu Talib-asws, and he-asws can place among them wherever he-asws sees (the Pleasure of) Allah-azwj. And if there befalls with Hassan-asws a befalling (passing away), and Husayn-asws is alive, so it is (transferred) to Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, and that Husayn-asws should do with it similar to that which I-asws have ordered Hassan-asws with. For him-asws would be the like o
