Hadith 749
Hadith.5708 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdullah ibn Jundub from Hisham ibn Salim who said
Hafs Al-Awar asked Abu Abdullah (as) while I was present, saying: "My father had a hired worker who had something with him. The worker died, leaving behind no heirs or relatives. I am distressed about this matter; what should I do?" Abu Abdullah (as) replied: "The needy are more deserving of it, the needy are more deserving of it." I said: "May I be your ransom! I am still troubled by this matter; what should I do?" Imam (as) said: "Treat it as you would treat your own wealth. If someone comes claiming it, give it to them."
5708 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ
سَأَلَ حَفْصٌ اَلْأَعْوَرُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ : كَانَ لِأَبِي أَجِيرٌ وَ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ فَهَلَكَ اَلْأَجِيرُ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَارِثاً وَ لاَ قَرَابَةً وَ قَدْ ضِقْتُ بِذَلِكَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ "رَابَكَ اَلْمَسَاكِينُ رَابَكَ اَلْمَسَاكِينُ" فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي قَدْ ضِقْتُ بِذَلِكَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ "هُوَ كَسَبِيلِ مَالِكَ فَإِنْ جَاءَ طَالِبٌ أَعْطَيْتَهُ".

Hadith 750
Hadith.5709 - Ibn Abi Nasr narrated from Hammad from Ishaq ibn Ammar who said
I asked Imam (as) about a man who died and left behind children, some of whom were absent and their whereabouts were unknown. Imam (as) said: "Inheritance should be divided, and the share of the absent one will be set aside." I asked: "Is zakat due on it?" Imam (as) said: "No, not until he returns, takes possession of it, and a full year passes over it." I asked: "What if his whereabouts are completely unknown?" Imam (as) said: "If the remaining heirs are financially well-off, they may divide the inheritance. If he returns, they must restore his share to him."
5709 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ وُلْداً وَ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ غَائِباً لاَ يُدْرَى أَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ "يُقْسَمُ مِيرَاثُهُ وَ يُعْزَلُ لِلْغَائِبِ نَصِيبُهُ" قُلْتُ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلزَّكَاةُ قَالَ "لاَ حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ فَيَقْبِضَهُ وَ يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَوْلُ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لاَ يُدْرَى أَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اَلْوَرَثَةُ مِلاَءً اِقْتَسَمُوا مِيرَاثَهُ فَإِنْ جَاءَ رَدُّوهُ عَلَيْهِ".

Hadith 751
Hadith.5710 - Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman narrated from Ibn Awn from Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who had a rightful claim over another person but lost contact with him. He did not know where to search for him, whether he was alive or dead, and was unaware of any heir, lineage, or child related to him. Abu Abdullah (as) said
"He should continue searching for him." The man said: "It has been a long time; can he give it in charity?" Imam (as) replied: "He should continue searching."
5710 - وَ رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ حَقٌّ فَفَقَدَهُ وَ لاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ يَطْلُبُهُ وَ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ حَيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ مَيِّتٌ وَ لاَ يَعْرِفُ لَهُ وَارِثاً وَ لاَ نَسَباً وَ لاَ وَلَداً فَقَالَ "يَطْلُبُ" قَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ طَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ قَالَ "يَطْلُبُ".
