The Birth of the Possessor (of Divine Authority) عليه السلام

8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَوْصَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّوَادِ مَالاً فَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَقِيلَ لَهُ أَخْرِجْ حَقَّ وُلْدِ عَمِّكَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي يَدِهِ ضَيْعَةٌ لِوُلْدِ عَمِّهِ فِيهَا شِرْكَةٌ قَدْ حَبَسَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا الَّذِي لِوُلْدِ عَمِّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَالِ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَأَخْرَجَهَا وَأَنْفَذَ الْبَاقِيَ فَقُبِلَ.
8. Ali ibn Muhammad has said that a man from Bedouins sent a certain quantity of commoditiy (as religious dues) but it was returned to him and he was told, “Pay first the rights of the children of your uncle. It is four hundred Dirhams.” The property of the children of his uncle was in his possession in sharing manner and he had withheld their property. When he did the accounting their rights in that shared property was four hundred Dirhams. He paid that amount and sent the rest (to the Imam عليه السلام and it was accepted.”
