5536 - رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَوْصَى لِرَجُلٍ بِوَصِيَّةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثُلُثٍ أَوْ رُبُعٍ فَيُقْتَلُ اَلرَّجُلُ خَطَأً يَعْنِي اَلْمُوصِيَ فَقَالَ "تُجَازُ لِهَذَا اَلْوَصِيَّةُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ مِنْ دِيَتِهِ ".

Hadith.5536 - Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Muhammad ibn Qays, who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who bequeathed a portion of his wealth - a third or a fourth - to another man. Then, the man (the testator) was mistakenly killed. Imam (as) said: "The will is to be executed from his wealth and from his blood money (diyyah)."

5537 - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ : سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ خَطَأً قَالَ "ثُلُثُ دِيَتِهِ دَاخِلٌ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ".

Hadith.5537 - In another narration, Abu Abdullah (as), was asked about a man who had bequeathed one-third of his wealth and was then killed by mistake. Imam (as) said: "One-third of his blood money (diyyah) is included in his bequest."
