5490 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى قَالَ : سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أُوصِيَ لَهُ بِوَصِيَّةٍ فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضَهَا وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَقِباً قَالَ "اُطْلُبْ لَهُ وَارِثاً أَوْ مَوْلًى فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ لَهُ وَلِيُّ قَالَ "اِجْهَدْ أَنْ تَقْدِرَ لَهُ عَلَى وَلِيٍّ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْهُ وَ عَلِمَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْكَ اَلْجَهْدَ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَا".
Hadith.5490 - Al-Abbas ibn Amir narrated from Muthanna who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man for whom a bequest was made, but he died before receiving it and left no offspring. Imam (as) said: "Seek an heir or his mawla (guardian) and give it to him." I asked: "What if no heir is known?" Imam (as) replied: "Exert yourself in searching for an heir for him, and if you cannot find one and Allah (swt), the Exalted, knows of your sincere effort, then give it in charity."
