Chapter on Reviving Barren Lands and Properties

وَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ فِي رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِرَجُلَيْنِ اِشْهَدَا أَنَّ جَمِيعَ اَلدَّارِ اَلَّتِي لَهُ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا بِحُدُودِهَا كُلِّهَا لِفُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا لَهُ فِي اَلدَّارِ مِنَ اَلْمَتَاعِ وَ اَلْبَيِّنَةُ لاَ تَعْرِفُ اَلْمَتَاعَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَصْلُحُ إِذَا أَحَاطَ اَلشِّرَاءُ بِجَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ".
He wrote to Imam عليه السلام regarding a man who said to two witnesses, "Bear witness that the entire house which he owns in such-and-such a location, with all its boundaries, belongs to so-and-so, along with all the belongings he has in the house." However, the witnesses did not know what the belongings were. Imam عليه السلام responded: "It is valid if the purchase encompasses all of that, if Allah سبحانه وتعالى wills."
