Chapter on Endowments, Charity, and Gifts

وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ اَلدَّيْلَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْغَرِيبِ بِبَعْضِ دَارِهِ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ قَالَ "يُقَوَّمُ ذَلِكَ قِيمَةً فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَنُهُ".
Muhammad ibn Sulayman Al-Daylami narrated from his father, who narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام. He said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who donates part of his house to a stranger and then dies. Imam عليه السلام replied: "It should be appraised for its value, and its price should be given to him."
