34- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ كَتَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي الْوَقْفِ وَمَا رُوِيَ فِيهَا فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الْوُقُوفُ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا يَقِفُهَا أَهْلُهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.

34. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated the following: “Certain persons of our people had written to abu Muhammad (a.s.), about endowment and what is narrated about it. He (the Imam) (a.s.), signed the answer that said, ‘An endowment is according to what people making the endowment do (condition they set), by the will of Allah.”’

35- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ اشْتَرَيْتُ أَرْضاً إِلَى جَنْبِ ضَيْعَتِي بِأَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَلَمَّا وَفَّيْتُ الْمَالَ خُبِّرْتُ أَنَّ الأرْضَ وَقْفٌ فَقَالَ لا يَجُوزُ شِرَاءُ الْوَقْفِ وَلا تُدْخِلِ الْغَلَّةَ فِي مَالِكَ ادْفَعْهَا إِلَى مَنْ أُوقِفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ لا أَعْرِفُ لَهَا رَبّاً قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِغَلَّتِهَا.

35. Muhammad ibn Ja‘far al-Raziy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from abu Ali ibn Rashid who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I have bought a land near by my assets for two thousand dirham. When I made payment, I was informed that the land is an endowment.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Buying an endowment is not permissible. You must not include its income in your assets. Give it back to its beneficiaries.’ I then said, ‘I do not know the beneficiaries.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Give its income in charity.’”

36- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُوقِفُ الضَّيْعَةَ ثُمَّ يَبْدُو لَهُ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَوْقَفَهَا لِوُلْدِهِ وَلِغَيْرِهِمْ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ لَهَا قَيِّماً لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا وَإِنْ كَانُوا صِغَاراً وَقَدْ شَرَطَ وَلايَتَهَا لَهُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغُوا فَيَحُوزَهَا لَهُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا وَإِنْ كَانُوا كِبَاراً لَمْ يُسَلِّمْهَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يُخَاصِمُوا حَتَّى يَحُوزُوهَا عَنْهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا لأنَّهُمْ لا يَحُوزُونَهَا عَنْهُ وَقَدْ بَلَغُوا.

36. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar all from Safwan ibn Yahya who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a man who makes a piece of his property an endowment, then decides to change it. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he has made it an endowment for his children and others and then appoints a supervisor for it, he cannot change it. If they are small and he has set a condition that the supervision will rest with them until they mature and so he has taken possession for them in this case also he cannot change it. If they are mature but he has not given it to them and they do not dispute with him until they take possession from him, then he can change it because they have not taken possession from him while they are mature.’”

37- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَسْأَلُ عَنْ أَرْضٍ أَوْقَفَهَا جَدِّي عَلَى الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنْ وُلْدِ فُلانِ بْنِ فُلانٍ وَهُمْ كَثِيرٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ فِي الْبِلادِ فَأَجَابَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ذَكَرْتَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي أَوْقَفَهَا جَدُّكَ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ وُلْدِ فُلانِ بْنِ فُلانٍ وَهِيَ لِمَنْ حَضَرَ الْبَلَدَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْوَقْفُ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تُتْبِعَ مَنْ كَانَ غَائِباً.

37. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Musa ibn Ja‘far from Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman al- Nawfaliy who has narrated the following: “I once wrote to abu Ja‘far, al-Thaniy (a.s.), and asked about a land that my grandfather had made an endowment for the needy children of so and so who are of a large number in different places. He (the Imam) (a.s.), said, ‘You have mentioned the land that your grandfather had made an endowment for the needy children of so and so. It is for those of them who are in the area (town) in which the endowment exists and you do not have to search for everyone who is absent.’”

38- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ جَعَلَ دَاراً سُكْنَى لِرَجُلٍ إِبَّانَ حَيَاتِهِ أَوْ جَعَلَهَا لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ قَالَ هِيَ لَهُ وَلِعَقِبِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ كَمَا شَرَطَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِ احْتَاجَ يَبِيعُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَيَنْقُضُ بَيْعُهُ الدَّارَ السُّكْنَى قَالَ لا يَنْقُضُ الْبَيْعُ السُّكْنَى كَذَلِكَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لا يَنْقُضُ الْبَيْعُ الإجَارَةَ وَلا السُّكْنَى وَلَكِنْ يَبِيعُهُ عَلَى أَنَّ الَّذِي يَشْتَرِيهِ لا يَمْلِكُ مَا اشْتَرَى حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ السُّكْنَى عَلَى مَا شَرَطَ وَالإجَارَةُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ رَدَّ عَلَى الْمُسْتَأْجِرِ مَالَهُ وَجَمِيعَ مَا لَزِمَهُ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ وَالْعِمَارَةِ فِيمَا اسْتَأْجَرَهُ قَالَ عَلَى طِيبَةِ النَّفْسِ وَيَرْضَى الْمُسْتَأْجِرُ بِذَلِكَ لا بَأْسَ.

38. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Husayn ibn al-Nu’aym who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), about the case of a man who has given a house to a man to live in for his lifetime, or it is for him and those whom he leaves behind, as the condition may be. I then said, ‘If needed can he then sell it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I then asked, ‘Does such a sale cancel its being given to the man for his living a lifetime?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The sale does not cancel its being given to one for living therein a lifetime. That is how I heard my father (a.s.), say that abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, “Selling does not cancel tenancy and rentals or being given to live a lifetime therein according to the condition and rent.’” I then asked, ’What happens if the tenant asks for his expenses, building and maintenance for what he has rented?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is with mutual agreements then it is not harmful.’”

39- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ جَعَلَ لِرَجُلٍ سُكْنَى دَارٍ لَهُ حَيَاتَهُ يَعْنِي صَاحِبَ الدَّارِ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ صَاحِبُ الدَّارِ أَرَادَ وَرَثَتُهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ أَلَهُمْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرَى أَنْ تُقَوَّمَ الدَّارُ بِقِيمَةٍ عَادِلَةٍ وَيُنْظَرَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ الْمَيِّتِ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي ثُلُثِهِ مَا يُحِيطُ بِثَمَنِ الدَّارِ فَلَيْسَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الثُّلُثُ لا يُحِيطُ بِثَمَنِ الدَّارِ فَلَهُمْ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي جُعِلَ لَهُ السُّكْنَى بَعْدَ مَوْتِ صَاحِبِ الدَّارِ يَكُونُ السُّكْنَى لِعَقِبِ الَّذِي جُعِلَ لَهُ السُّكْنَى قَالَ لا.

39. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Khalid ibn Rafi’ al-Bajaliy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who has given a house to a man to live for the lifetime of the occupant of the house. When the owner dies, the heirs ask the occupant to leave the house; if they can do so. He (the Imam) said, ‘I see that the house must be appraised for a fair price as well as the one-third of the legacy of the deceased. If the one-third covers the price of the house, the heirs cannot ask the occupant to leave the house; but if the one-third of the legacy did not cover the price of the house, then they can ask him to leave.’ It then was asked from him (the Imam), ‘What happens if the man who had permission to live in the house for his lifetime dies after the death of the owner of the house; if those whom he has left behind can live in that house. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, they cannot live in that house.’”

40- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَجْلانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ أَمْلأ عَلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَذَا مَا تَصَدَّقَ اللهَ بِهِ فُلانُ بْنُ فُلانٍ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ سَوِيٌّ بِدَارِهِ الَّتِي فِي بَنِي فُلانٍ بِحُدُودِهَا صَدَقَةً لا تُبَاعُ وَلا تُوهَبُ وَلا تُورَثُ حَتَّى يَرِثَهَا وَارِثُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَسْكَنَ صَدَقَتَهُ هَذِهِ فُلاناً وَعَقِبَهُ فَإِذَا انْقَرَضُوا فَهِيَ عَلَى ذِي الْحَاجَةِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ. حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُدَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مِثْلَهُ.

40. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from certain persons of his people from Aban from ‘Ajalan abu Salih who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), dictated to me the following:

41- أَبَانٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لا يَشْتَرِي الرَّجُلُ مَا تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَإِنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِمَسْكَنٍ عَلَى ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ سَكَنَ مَعَهُمْ وَإِنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِخَادِمٍ عَلَى ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ خَدَمَتْهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.

41. Aban has narrated from abu al-Jarud who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘A man cannot buy what he has given as charity. If he gives as charity a house to a relative then if he likes he can live with them. If he gives in charity a servant to a relative he can serve him by the will of Allah.’”

1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ قَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً أَوْصَتْ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَتْ ثُلُثِي يُقْضَى بِهِ دَيْنِي وَجُزْءٌ مِنْهُ لِفُلانَةَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقَالَ مَا أَرَى لَهَا شَيْئاً مَا أَدْرِي مَا الْجُزْءُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَخَبَّرْتُهُ كَيْفَ قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقَالَ كَذَبَ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى لَهَا عُشْرُ الثُّلُثِ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ اجْعَلْ عَلى‏ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنْهُنَّ جُزْءاً وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَشَرَةً وَالْجُزْءُ هُوَ الْعُشْرُ مِنَ الشَّيْ‏ءِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from ‘ Abd Allah ibn Sinan from ‘ Abd al- Rahman ibn Sayabah who has narrated the following: “A woman made a will to me that said, ‘With one-third of my legacy my debts must be paid and part of it will be for so and so female.’ I then asked ibn abu Layla’ about it and he said, ‘There is nothing for her because I do not know how much is al-Juz’ (a part).’ I then asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about it afterwards and informed him (the Imam) how she had said it and what ibn abu Layla’ had said. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ibn abu Layla’ has spoken falsely. She can have one-tenth of the one- third because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, said to Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, “Place Juza’ (a part) of it on every mountain” (2:260) the mountains at that time were ten, thus al-Juz’ is one-tenth of something.’”

2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِجُزْءٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ قَالَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ اجْعَلْ عَلى‏ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنْهُنَّ جُزْءاً وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ عَشَرَةً.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Faddal from Th’alabah’ ibn Maymun from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who made a will about a part of his legacy. He (the Imam) said, ‘Apart is one-tenth because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘Place a part on every mountain’ the mountains were ten.’”
