Chapter on the Obligation of Returning a Bequest to What is Proper and What the Deceased is Entitled to From His Wealth

وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُعْطِي اَلشَّيْءَ مِنْ مَالِهِ فِي مَرَضِهِ قَالَ "إِذَا أَبَانَ بِهِ فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ وَ إِنْ أَوْصَى بِهِ فَمِنَ اَلثُّلُثِ".
Ṣafwan narrated from Murazim from some of our companions regarding a man who gives something from his wealth during his illness. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he gives it explicitly (clearly handing it over), then it is valid. But if he bequeaths it (without handing it over), then it must be from one-third of his estate."
