2- مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) رَجُلٌ أَوْصَى إِلَى وُلْدِهِ وَفِيهِمْ كِبَارٌ قَدْ أَدْرَكُوا وَفِيهِمْ صِغَارٌ أَيَجُوزُ لِلْكِبَارِ أَنْ يُنْفِذُوا وَصِيَّتَهُ وَيَقْضُوا دَيْنَهُ لِمَنْ صَحَّ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ بِشُهُودٍ عُدُولٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ الأوْصِيَاءُ الصِّغَارُ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) نَعَمْ عَلَى الأكَابِرِ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ أَنْ يَقْضُوا دَيْنَ أَبِيهِمْ وَلا يَحْبِسُوهُ بِذَلِكَ.
2. Muhammad has said the following: “Once Muhammad ibn al-Hassan wrote to abu Muhammad (a.s.), about the case of a man who made a bequest for his children consisting of adults and minor ones, if it is lawful for the adults to execute the will, pay off his debts to the rightful creditors according to just witnesses before the minors become adults. He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ‘The adult children must pay the debts of their father and they must not allow him to remain imprisoned thereby (the debts).”’
