4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ دَيْناً وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ لأيْتَامٍ وَأَخَافُ إِنْ بِعْتُ ضَيْعَتِي بَقِيتُ وَمَا لِي شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ لا تَبِعْ ضَيْعَتَكَ وَلَكِنْ أَعْطِهِ بَعْضاً وَأَمْسِكْ بَعْضاً.
4. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from Burayd al- ‘ Ij liy who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘I am indebted’ - I think he said, ‘to the orphans’ and I am afraid if I sell my property I will be left without any assets.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not sell your property; however, you should pay a certain part and keep certain other parts.’” (Fatwa best explains this Hadith)
