Hadith 568

Hadith.5538 - Muhammad ibn Ya'qub Al-Kulayni, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad Al-'Asimi from Ali ibn Al-Hasan Al-Mithami from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yusuf from Mathanna ibn Al-Walid from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Abdullah (as), who was asked about a man who appointed another man as the guardian over his children and their wealth. He also permitted him, in his will, to invest the wealth with the profit being shared between him and the children. Imam (as) said

"There is no harm in that because their father had granted him permission to do so while he was alive."

5538 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْكُلَيْنِيُّ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْعَاصِمِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ مُثَنَّى بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ بِوُلْدِهِ وَ مَالٍ لَهُمْ وَ أَذِنَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اَلْوَصِيَّةِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِالْمَالِ وَ يَكُونُ اَلرِّبْحُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ

"لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ".

Hadith 569

Hadith.5539 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Abdur Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj from Khalid Al-Taweel, who said

My father called me when death approached him and said: "O' my son, take charge of your younger brothers' wealth, invest it, take half of the profit for yourself, and give them the other half. You are not liable for any loss." After my father's death, my father's concubine brought me before Ibn Abi Layla and said: "This man is consuming the wealth of my children." I explained to him what my father had instructed me to do. Ibn Abi Layla said: "If your father commanded you with something invalid, I will not permit it." Then he had me testify that if I used the wealth, I would be liable for it. Later, I went to Abu Abdullah (as), and narrated my story to him. I then asked: "What do you say about this matter?" Imam (as) said: "As for the ruling of Ibn Abi Layla, I cannot overturn it. But as for what is between you and Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, you are not liable."

5539 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ اَلطَّوِيلِ قَالَ

دَعَانِي أَبِي حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ اَلْوَفَاةُ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ اِقْبِضْ مَالَ إِخْوَتِكَ اَلصِّغَارِ وَ اِعْمَلْ بِهِ وَ خُذْ نِصْفَ اَلرِّبْحِ وَ أَعْطِهِمُ اَلنِّصْفَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ ضَمَانٌ فَقَدَّمَتْنِي أُمُّ وَلَدِ أَبِي بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ أَبِي إِلَى اِبْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ هَذَا يَأْكُلُ أَمْوَالَ وُلْدِي قَالَ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ أَبِي فَقَالَ اِبْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى إِنْ كَانَ أَبُوكَ أَمَرَكَ بِالْبَاطِلِ لَمْ أُجِزْهُ ثُمَّ أَشْهَدَ عَلَيَّ اِبْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى إِنْ أَنَا حَرَّكْتُهُ فَأَنَا لَهُ ضَامِنٌ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بَعْدُ فَاقْتَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قِصَّتِي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا تَرَى فَقَالَ "أَمَّا قَوْلُ اِبْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَلاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ رَدَّهُ وَ أَمَّا فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ ضَمَانٌ".
