وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلثَّالِثِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّا نُؤْتَى بِالشَّيْءِ فَيُقَالُ هَذَا كَانَ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عِنْدَنَا فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَ لِأَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِسَبَبِ اَلْإِمَامَةِ فَهُوَ لِي وَ مَا كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ مِيرَاثٌ عَلَى كِتَابِ اَللَّهِ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ».
It is narrated from Abu Ali ibn Rashid, who said: I said to Abu al-Hasan al-Thalith (Imam Ali ibn Muhammad Al-Hadi عليه السلام) "We are sometimes brought something, and it is said, 'This belonged to Abu Ja'far (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Jawad عليه السلام) and is now with us.' What should we do with it?" The Imam عليه السلام replied: "Whatever belonged to my father عليه السلام due to his position as the Imam is now mine. As for anything else, it is inheritance distributed according to the Book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the Sunnah of His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family."
