Chapter on Bequests of a Portion of Wealth, a Share, a Part, or a Large Amount
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِجُزْءٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَقَالَ "جُزْءٌ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثُمَّ اِجْعَلْ عَلىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنْهُنَّ جُزْءاً وَ كَانَتِ اَلْجِبَالُ عَشَرَةً.
It is narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Thalabah ibn Maymun, from Muawiyah ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a man who bequeathed a portion of his wealth. Imam عليه السلام replied: "A portion is one-tenth." Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, said: "Then place on every mountain a portion (juz') of them" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:260), and the mountains were ten.
