6- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ تَسْنِيمٍ الْكَاتِبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو الأزْرَقِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَةَ أُخْتٍ لَهُ وَتَرَكَ مَوَالِيَ وَلَهُ عِنْدِي أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَجَاءَتِ ابْنَةُ أُخْتِهِ فَرَهَنَتْ عِنْدِي مُصْحَفاً فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا ثَلاثِينَ دِرْهَماً فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) حِينَ قُلْتُ لَهُ عَلِمَ بِهَا أَحَدٌ قُلْتُ لا قَالَ فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً وَلا تُعْلِمْ أَحَداً.
6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan al-Tamimiy from Muhammad ibn Tasnim al-Katib from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Amr al-Arzaq who has narrated the following: “A man asked him (the Imam) about the case of a man who dies leaving behind the daughter of his sister and slaves. He has left one thousand dirham with him about which no one knows anything. The daughter of his sister came and left a holy book with him as a security deposit. He gave her thirty dirham. I heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, ask, ‘Does anyone know about?’ I replied, ‘No, no one knows anything about it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Give it to her piece by piece and do not inform anyone about it.’”
