Hadith.3683 - It is narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb who said
I said to Abu Abdillah (as), "It has been mentioned to us that a man from the Ansar died while owing two dinars as debt, so the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) did not pray over him and said: 'Pray over your brother,' until one of his relatives guaranteed them on his behalf." Abu Abdillah (as) said: "That is true." Then Imam (as) said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) did that so they would take heed, and so that they would support one another, and so that they would not take debt lightly. And yet the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) died while he was in debt, the Commander of the Faithful (as) was killed while he was in debt, Al-Hasan (as) died while he was in debt, and Al-Husayn (as) was killed while he was in debt."
3683 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّهُ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ اَلْأَنْصَارِ مَاتَ وَ عَلَيْهِ دِينَارَانِ دَيْناً فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ قَالَ "صَلُّوا عَلَى أَخِيكُمْ حَتَّى ضَمِنَهُمَا عَنْهُ بَعْضُ قَرَابَاتِهِ" فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "ذَاكَ اَلْحَقُّ" ثُمَّ قَالَ "إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لِيَتَّعِظُوا وَ لِيَرُدَّ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَ لِئَلاَّ يَسْتَخِفُّوا بِالدَّيْنِ وَ قَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ قُتِلَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ مَاتَ اَلْحَسَنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ قُتِلَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ".

Hadith 596
Hadith.3713 - Al-Sakuni narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers (peace be upon them) who said
A man came to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and said: "I have earned wealth, but I was not careful in seeking it, whether it was lawful or unlawful. Now I wish to repent, but I do not know what portion of it is lawful and what is unlawful, as it has become mixed." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Take out one-fifth of your wealth, for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, has accepted one-fifth from a person, and the rest of the wealth is entirely lawful for you."
3713 - وَ رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"أَتَى رَجُلٌ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي كَسَبْتُ مَالاً أَغْمَضْتُ فِي طَلَبِهِ حَلاَلاً وَ حَرَاماً فَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ اَلتَّوْبَةَ وَ لاَ أَدْرِي اَلْحَلاَلَ مِنْهُ وَ لاَ اَلْحَرَامَ فَقَدِ اِخْتَلَطَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَخْرِجْ خُمُسَ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ رَضِيَ مِنَ اَلْإِنْسَانِ بِالْخُمُسِ وَ سَائِرُ اَلْمَالِ كُلُّهُ لَكَ حَلاَلٌ" ".

Hadith 597
Hadith.3714 - Abu Al-Bakhtari Wahb ibn Wahb narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) (peace be upon them), who said
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) ruled concerning a man who died and left heirs. One of the heirs acknowledged a debt against his father. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) ruled that it would be binding upon him in his share, according to what he inherited, and it would not apply to the entire estate. If two of the heirs acknowledged the debt and they were just (trustworthy), then it would be enforced against all the heirs. However, if they were not just, they would only be liable in their shares, based on what they inherited. Similarly, if some of the heirs acknowledged a brother or sister, the acknowledgment would only apply to their share. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Whoever acknowledges a brother, he is a partner in the wealth, but his lineage is not established. If two heirs acknowledge him, the same applies-unless they are just (trustworthy), in which case his lineage is established, and he shares in the inheritance with them."
3714 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو اَلْبَخْتَرِيِّ وَهْبُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"قَضَى عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ وَرَثَةً فَأَقَرَّ أَحَدُ اَلْوَرَثَةِ بِدَيْنٍ عَلَى أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ يَلْزَمُهُ ذَلِكَ فِي حِصَّتِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا وَرِثَ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فِي مَالِهِ كُلِّهِ فَإِنْ أَقَرَّ اِثْنَانِ مِنَ اَلْوَرَثَةِ وَ كَانَا عَدْلَيْنِ أُجِيزَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اَلْوَرَثَةِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُونَا عَدْلَيْنِ أُلْزِمَا فِي حِصَّتِهِمَا بِقَدْرِ مَا وَرِثَا وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ أَقَرَّ بَعْضُ اَلْوَرَثَةِ بِأَخٍ أَوْ أُخْتٍ إِنَّمَا يَلْزَمُهُ فِي حِصَّتِهِ وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "مَنْ أَقَرَّ لِأَخِيهِ فَهُوَ شَرِيكٌ فِي اَلْمَالِ وَ لاَ يَثْبُتُ نَسَبُهُ وَ إِذَا أَقَرَّ اِثْنَانِ فَكَذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَا عَدْلَيْنِ فَيُلْحَقُ نَسَبُهُ وَ يُضْرَبُ فِي اَلْمِيرَاثِ مَعَهُمْ" ".

Hadith 598
Hadith.3715 - Ibrahim ibn Hashim narrated that Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him) was a cloth merchant. He lost his wealth and became poor. A man owed him ten thousand dirhams. Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr sold his house, which he lived in, for ten thousand dirhams and brought the money to the debtor's door. Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr came out and asked: "
What is this?" The man replied: "This is your money that I owe you." He asked: "Did you inherit it?" The man said: "No." He asked: "Was it gifted to you?" The man said: "No." He asked: "Is it the price of a property you sold?" The man said: "No." He asked: "Then what is it?" The man replied: "I sold the house I live in to repay my debt." Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him) said: "Zarih Al-Muharibi narrated to me from Abu Abdillah (as) that he said: 'A man should not be forced out of his home because of a debt.' Take it back; I have no need for it. By Allah (swt), I am in need of a dirham at this moment, yet not a single dirham of it will enter my possession."
