1 Ḥadīth

أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد، عن علي بن السندي، عن محمد بن عمرو بن سعيد، عن جميل، عن أبان بن تغلب، عن أبي حمزة، عن علي بن الحسين صلوات الله عليهما، قال: قلت له: رجل أوصى بشئ من ماله؟ فقال لي: في كتاب علي عليه السلام: الشئ من ماله واحد من ستة.


1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Muhammed bin Ahmad, from Ali bin Sindi, from Muhammed bin Amru bin Sa’eed, from Jameel, from Aban bin Taghlib, from Abu Hamza, from Ali bin Hussain, Allah’s blessings be upon them both, that he said: I said to him: A man who bequeaths with something of his property? Then he said to me: (It is mentioned) In the Book of Ali, peace be upon him: Something of his property is (equivalent to) one of six.
