Hadith.3269 - Ali ibn Abi Hamzah said:
I asked Abu al-Hasan (as) about a Jewish or Christian man who had a debt of four thousand dirhams with me, and he died.
I asked: "Is it lawful for me to settle with his heirs without informing them of the exact amount?"
Imam (as) said: "It is not permissible until you inform them."
