Hadith.5543 - Ali ibn Al-Nu'man narrated from Ibn Muskan from Al-'Alaa, the seller of sabiri (a type of cloth), who said: I asked Abu Abdullah 
, about a woman who entrusted a man with some wealth. When death approached her, she said to him, "The wealth I gave you belongs to so-and-so," and then the woman passed away.
Her heirs came to the man and said: "Our relative had wealth, and we believe it is with you. Swear to us that you have nothing of hers." Should he swear to them?
Imam said: "If she was trustworthy in his view, then he should swear. But if she was suspect, then he should not swear and should leave the matter as it is. Indeed, she only has a right to one-third of her wealth."
