2 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي الصُّهبانِ، عَنْ صَفْوانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمن بْنِ الحَجَّاجِ قالَ: بَعَثَ إِلَىَّ أَبُو الحَسَن a.sُ بِوَصِيَّةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنين a.sُ و بَعَثَ إِلى بِصَدَقَةِ أَبِيهِ مَعَ أَبي إِسْمَاعِيلَ مُصادِفٍ وَذَكَرَ صَدَقات جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ وَصَدَقَة نَفْسَهُ:«بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيم هذا ما تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَر a.sُ، تَصَدَّقَ بِأَرْضِهِ مَكانَ كَذا وَكَذا وَحُدُودِ الأَرْضِ كَذا وَكَذا كُلِّها وَنَخْلِها وَأَرْضِها وَبِياضِها وَمائها وَأَرْجائِها وَحُقُوقِها وَشُرْبِها مِنَ الماءِ وَكُلِّ حَقٍّ هُوَلَها فِي مَرْفَعٍ أَوْ مَظْهَر أَوْ غَيْضٍ أَوْ مِرْفَقٍ أَوْ ساحَةٍ أَوْ مَسِيلٍ أَوْ عامِرٍ أَوْ غامِرٍ، تَصَدَّقَ بِجَمِيعِ حَقَّهُ مِنْ ذلِكَ عَلَى وُلْدِهِ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ للرِّجالِ وَالنِّساء يَقْسِمُ، وَإِلَيْها ما اَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ تَعالى مِنْ غَلَّتِها بَعْدَ الَّذِي يَكْفِيها فِي عِمارَتِها و مَرافِقِها وَبَعْدَ ثَلاثِينَ عِذْقاً يُقْسَمُ في مَساكِين أَهْل القَرْيَة بَيْنِ وُلْدِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الاُنْثَيَيْنِ فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فَلا حَقَّ لَها فِي هذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ حَتّى تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْها بِغَيْرِ زَوْجٍ، فَإِنَّ رَجَعْتَ كانَ لَها مِثْلُ حَظِّ الَّتِي لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ قَطُّ مِنْ بَناتِ مُوسَى، وَمَنْ تُوُفِّيَ مِنْ وُلْدِ مُوسَى وَلَهُ وُلْدٌ فَوُلْدُهُ عَلَى سَهْمِ أَبِيهِمْ، لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلٌ حَظِّ الاُنْثَيَيْنِ، عَلَى مِثْلَ ما شَرَطَ مُوسَى بَيْنَ وُلْدِهِ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ، وَمَنْ تُوُفِّيَ مِنْ وُلْدِ مُوسَى وَلَمْ يَتْرَك وَلَداً رُدَّ حَقَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ، وَلَيْسَ لِوُلْدِ بَناتِي فِي صَدَقَتِي هذِهِ حَقٌّ إلاّ أَنْ يَكُونَ آباؤُهُمْ مِنْ وُلْدِي وَلَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ فِي صَدَقَتِي حَقٌّ مَعَ وُلْدِي وَوُلْدِ وُلْدِي وَأَعْقابِهم ما بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ. فَإِنِ انْقَرَضُوا وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَصَدَقَتِي عَلَى وُلْدِ أَبي مِنْ اُمِّي ما بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ عَلَى ما شَرَطْتُ بَيْنِ وُلْدِي وَعَقِبي، فَإِن انْقَرَضَ وُلْدُ أَبي مِنْ اُمِّي فَصَدَقَتِي عَلَى وُلْدِ أَبي وَأَعْقابِهم ما بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ.فَإِنْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَصَدَقَتِي عَلَى الأَوْلى فَالأَوْلى حَتّى يَرِثَ اللَّهُ تَعالى الَّذِي وَرِثَها وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الوارِثِينَ تَصَدَّقَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ بِصَدَقَةِ هذِهِ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ صَدَقَة حَبِيساً بَتّاً بَتْلاًلا مَثْنَويَّةَ فِيها وَلا رَدّاً أَبَداً اِبْتِغاءَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ تَعالى وَالدّارِ الآخِرَةِ لا يَحِلُّ لِمُؤْمِنٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّه وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِر أَن يَبِيعَها أَوْ يَبْتاعَها أَوْ يَهَبَها أَوْ يَنْحَلَها أَوْ يُغَيِّرَ شَيْئاً مّما وَضَعْتُها عَلَيْهِ حَتّى يَرِثَ اللَّهُ الأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْها، وَجَعَلَ صَدَقَةُ هذِهِ إِلى عَلِيِّ وَإِبْراهيمَ، فَإِنِ انْقَرَضَ أَحَدُهُما دَخَلَ القاسِمُ مَعَ الباقِي مَكانَهُ، فَإِنِ انْقَرَضَ أَحَدُهُما دَخَلَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَعَ الباقِي مِنْهُما مَكانَهُ، فَإِنِ انْقَرَضَ أَحَدُهُما دَخَلَ العَبَّاسُ مَعَ الباقِي مِنْهُما، فَإِنِ انْقَرَضَ أَحَدُهُما فَالأَكْبَرُ مِنْ وُلْدِي يَقُومُ مَقامَهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَبْقَ من وُلْدِي إِلاّ واحِدٌ فَهُوَالَّذِي يَقُومُ بِهِ، قالَ: وَقالَ أَبُو الحَسَن a.sُ: إِنَّ أَباهُ قَدَّمَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فِي صَدَقَتِهِ عَلَى العَبَّاسِ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْهُ.

5-2 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Idris quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abis Sahban, on the authority of Safwan ibn Yahya, on the authority of Abdurrahman ibn al-Hajjaj, “Abul Hassan (s) sent me the Commander of the Faithful’s (s) will and the list of endowments of his father (s) by Abu Ismail Mosadef (Imam Kadhim’s slave), and indicated the list of endowments of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (s) and his own as follows, ‘In the Name of God, the Beneficent the Merciful. This is the list of what Musa ibn Ja’far endows. He endows his land located in such and such places. The boundaries of the land are so and so. All the land, the date palms, parts of it that are not constructed, the water in it, its corners, the water right and the turn for its use of water, and every other right at its heights and its pastures, all its existing facilities , its yard and its streams; its cultivated and its dry parts are endowed by Musa ibn Ja’far to his children - male or female. The caretaker in charge of this land will subtract the expenses for its maintenance and development from its income - other than the income from thirty of its trees that will be divided among the poor people of the village. He will divide this income between the children of Musa ibn Ja’far . Each boy will be given twice that of each girl. The payments to each of the daughters of Musa ibn Ja’far who gets married will be cut-off until she loses her husband in which case her share will be like that of unmarried girls. Whenever one of the children of Musa dies their children will receive their father’s share - each boy will receive double the amount that each girl receives just as Musa has determined for his own children. Whenever one dies and does not have any children, then his share will be added to the others’ share. His daughter’s children will not receive any share unless their fathers are from my descendants. No one has any share in this as long as I have some descendants. If they all die and no one is left, then the income from these endowments will be paid to my brothers and sisters as long as they are living based on the same conditions that I stated for my children and my descendants. If all my brothers and sisters die, then the income from this endowment will be paid to my paternal brothers (uncles) and sisters (aunts) and their descendants as long as there is anyone. If none of these relations live, then the income from this endowment will be paid to my relatives and close friends - whoever is closest to me until the time when God the Almighty inherits whatever He will inherit. He is the best inheritor. Musa ibn Ja’far endowed thisproperty without any doubt in perfect health in a just and non-revokable manner to seek God’s pleasure and the blessings of the Hereafter. No believer who has faith in God and the Resurrection Day is allowed to sell it, buy it, donate it to someone, or change its stated conditions, until the life of man and whatever is on the Earth is over, and God inherits it. This endowment is trusted to Ali and Ibrahim. Whenever one of them dies, Al-Qasim will take his place. If anyone of these two dies, then al-Abbas will take his place. If anyone of these two dies, then the oldest son will take his place. If only one person of my generation is left, then he will be in charge of his endowment.’”The narrator of this tradition said, “Abul Hassan (s) said, ‘My father gave a higher priority to Isma’il over al-Abbas, even though he is younger than him.’”
