3883 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ دَارٍ كَانَتْ لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَ كَانَ لَهَا اِبْنٌ وَ اِبْنَةٌ فَغَابَ اَلاِبْنُ فِي اَلْبَحْرِ وَ مَاتَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَادَّعَتِ اِبْنَتُهَا أَنَّ أُمَّهَا كَانَتْ صَيَّرَتْ تِلْكَ اَلدَّارَ لَهَا وَ بَاعَتْ أَشْقَاصاً مِنْهَا وَ بَقِيَتْ فِي اَلدَّارِ قِطْعَةٌ إِلَى جَنْبِ دَارِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا فَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا لِغَيْبَةِ اَلاِبْنِ وَ مَا يَتَخَوَّفُ مِنْ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ شِرَاؤُهَا وَ لَيْسَ يُعْرَفُ لِلاِبْنِ خَبَرٌ قَالَ "وَ مُنْذُ كَمْ غَابَ" قُلْتُ مُنْذُ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ فَقَالَ "يَنْتَظِرُ بِهِ غَيْبَةَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ يَشْتَرِي".
Hadith.3883 - It is narrated from Ali bin Mahziyar who said:
I asked Abu Ja'far Al-Thani 
about a house that belonged to a woman who had a son and a daughter. The son went missing at sea, and the woman died. The daughter claimed that her mother had transferred the ownership of the house to her and sold portions of it, leaving a remaining portion beside the house of one of our brothers.
This brother was reluctant to purchase it due to the absence of the son and the concern that buying it might not be permissible, as there was no news about the son.
Imam asked: "How long has he been missing?"
I said: "For many years."
Imam said: "He should wait for the son's absence for ten years, and then he may purchase it."
