Chapter on the Acknowledgment of Debt by a Sick Person in Favor of an Heir
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى لِبَعْضِ وَرَثَتِهِ بِأَنَّ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْناً فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اَلْمَيِّتُ مَرْضِيّاً فَأَعْطِهِ اَلَّذِي أَوْصَى لَهُ".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Mansur ibn Hazim, who said: 'I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, about a man who, in his will, acknowledged a debt to one of his heirs.' Imam عليه السلام said: "If the deceased was in a sound state of health, then give him what was bequeathed to him."
