رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى لِرَجُلٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَ كَانَ فِي جَفْنٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ حِلْيَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلْوَرَثَةُ إِنَّمَا لَكَ اَلنَّصْلُ وَ لَيْسَ لَكَ اَلسَّيْفُ فَقَالَ "لاَ بَلِ اَلسَّيْفُ بِمَا فِيهِ لَهُ" قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَوْصَى بِصُنْدُوقٍ لِرَجُلٍ وَ كَانَ فِيهِ مَالٌ فَقَالَ اَلْوَرَثَةُ إِنَّمَا لَكَ اَلصُّنْدُوقُ وَ لَيْسَ لَكَ اَلْمَالُ فَقَالَ "اَلصُّنْدُوقُ بِمَا فِيهِ لَهُ".
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr narrated from Abu Jamilah from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام, who said: I asked him about a man who bequeathed a sword to another man, and the sword was in its sheath and adorned with decorations. The heirs said to him, "Only the blade belongs to you, not the sword (with its accessories)." Imam عليه السلام said: "No, rather the sword with everything it contains belongs to him." I said to Imam عليه السلام: "A man bequeathed a box to another man, and there was money inside it. The heirs said: 'Only the box belongs to you, not the money.'" Imam عليه السلام said: "The box with everything it contains belongs to him."

وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ هَذِهِ اَلسَّفِينَةُ لِفُلاَنٍ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ مَا فِيهَا وَ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ أَ يُعْطَاهَا اَلرَّجُلُ وَ مَا فِيهَا قَالَ "هِيَ لِلَّذِي أَوْصَى لَهُ بِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ صَاحِبُهَا اِسْتَثْنَى مَا فِيهَا وَ لَيْسَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ شَيْءٌ ".
Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn narrated from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Hilal from Uqbah ibn Khalid from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who said: "This ship belongs to so-and-so," without specifying what was inside it, and there was food in it. Should the man be given the ship and what is inside it? Imam عليه السلام said: "It belongs to the one to whom it was bequeathed, unless its owner explicitly excluded what was inside it. The heirs have no claim over it."
