1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَأَوْصَى إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ أَيَجُوزُ لأحَدِهِمَا أَنْ يَنْفَرِدَ بِنِصْفِ التَّرِكَةِ وَالآخَرِ بِالنِّصْفِ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لا يَنْبَغِي لَهُمَا أَنْ يُخَالِفَا الْمَيِّتَ وَأَنْ يَعْمَلا عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا أَمَرَهُمَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated the following: “Muhammad ibn al-Hassan once wrote to abu Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who dies and appoints two people as executors of his will, if it is permissible for one of them to deal with one-half of the legacy and the other with the other half of the legacy. He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ‘It is not suitable for them to oppose the deceased. They must work as they are instructed, by the will of Allah.’”

2- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَخَوَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلا مَاتَ وَأَوْصَى إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى آخَرَ أَوْ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا خُذْ نِصْفَ مَا تَرَكَ وَأَعْطِنِي النِّصْفَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ الآخَرُ فَسَأَلُوا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ.

2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from his two brothers, Muhammad and Ahmad from their father from Dawud ibn abu Yazid from Burayd ibn Mu’awiyah who has narrated the following: “A man died and appointed me and another man or two men as executors for his will. One of them said, ‘I will deal with one-half of the legacy but the other one opposed, and they asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is for him (to disagree).”’
