3- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ فِي بَلَدِنَا رُبَّمَا أُوصِيَ بِالْمَالِ لآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلام) فَيَأْتُونِّي بِهِ فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَحْمِلَهُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَكَ فَقَالَ لا تَأْتِنِي بِهِ وَلإّّيغ تَعَرَّضْ لَهُ.

3. Abu Ali al-Ash ‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Ahmad ibn Hamzah who has narrated the following: “I once said to him (the Imam) , ‘In our land people may make a will for Ale Muhammad ﷺ. They ask me to deliver it to you and I dislike carrying it to you before asking for your instructions.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not carry them to me and do not bother about it.’”
