١- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ [يُونُسَ] عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلَ خَطَّابٌ الأعْوَرُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ أَبِي أَجِيرٌ يَعْمَلُ عِنْدَهُ بِالأجْرِ فَفَقَدْنَاهُ وَبَقِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَلا نَعْرِفُ لَهُ وَارِثاً قَالَ فَاطْلُبُوهُ قَالَ قَدْ طَلَبْنَاهُ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَسَاكِينُ وَحَرَّكَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ اطْلُبْ وَاجْهَدْ فَإِنْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِلا فَهُوَ كَسَبِيلِ مَالِكَ حَتَّى يَجِي‏ءَ لَهُ طَالِبٌ فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ فَأَوْصِ بِهِ إِنْ جَاءَ لَهُ طَالِبٌ أَنْ يُدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from [Yunus] from Hisham ibn Salim who has narrated the following: “Khattab al-A‘war asked abu Ibrahim , when I was sitting, ‘A man worked on hire with my father and we lost him. A certain amount from his wages was left with us and we did not know any of his heirs. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must search for him.’ He said, ‘We searched but did not find him.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Destitute people’, making a hand gesture with his both hands. The man repeated his question. He (the Imam) said, ‘Search and try hard if you can find him, otherwise, it is like your other assets until someone comes asking for it; and if something happens to you, make a will about it to give it to the one who may come asking for it (remaining wages).”’
