Chapter on Endowments, Charity, and Gifts

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَرُدُّ اَلنِّحْلَةَ فِي اَلْوَصِيَّةِ وَ مَا أَقَرَّ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِلاَ ثَبَتٍ وَ لاَ بَيِّنَةٍ رَدَّهُ".
In the narration of Al-Sakuni: "Indeed, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, peace be upon him, used to reject gifts (grants) in a will, and whatever a person acknowledged at the time of his death without proof or evidence; Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام would reject it."
