Hadith.5543 - Ali ibn Al-Nu'man narrated from Ibn Muskan from Al-'Alaa, the seller of sabiri (a type of cloth), who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about a woman who entrusted a man with some wealth. When death approached her, she said to him, "The wealth I gave you belongs to so-and-so," and then the woman passed away.

Imam (as) said: "If she was trustworthy in his view, then he should swear. But if she was suspect, then he should not swear and should leave the matter as it is. Indeed, she only has a right to one-third of her wealth."
