Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 126
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْكُلَيْنِيُّ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ مَوَالِيكَ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ وُلْداً صِغَاراً وَ تَرَكَ شَيْئاً وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ لَيْسَ يَعْلَمُ بِهِ اَلْغُرَمَاءُ فَإِنْ قُضِيَ لِغُرَمَائِهِ بَقِيَ وُلْدُهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ "أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى وُلْدِهِ".
Muhammad ibn Ya'qub Al-Kulayni, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى be pleased with him, narrated from Humayd ibn Ziyad from Ibn Sama'ah from Sulayman ibn Dawud from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam عليه السلام: "One of your followers passed away, leaving behind young children and some wealth, but he also had a debt that his creditors are unaware of. If the debt is paid, nothing will remain for his children." Imam عليه السلام said: "Spend it on his children."
