Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 171
وَ رَوَى حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "مَاتَ مَوْلًى لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ "اُنْظُرُوا هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لَهُ وَارِثاً" فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ لَهُ اِبْنَتَيْنِ بِالْيَمَامَةِ مَمْلُوكَتَيْنِ فَاشْتَرَاهُمَا مِنْ مَالِ اَلْمَيِّتِ ثُمَّ دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِمَا بَقِيَّةَ اَلْمِيرَاثِ".
Hanan ibn Sadir narrated from Ibn Abi Yafur from Ishaq ibn Ammar from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "A servant of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام passed away. Imam Ali عليه السلام said: 'Look and see if he has any heirs.' It was said to Him عليه السلام: 'He has two daughters in Yamamah who are enslaved.' So, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام purchased them using the deceased's wealth and then gave them the remainder of the inheritance."
