٢٦- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْمُهْتَدِي عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ ابْنٌ يَدَّعِيهِ فَنَفَاهُ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ وَأَنَا وَصِيُّهُ فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لَزِمَهُ الْوَلَدُ بِإِقْرَارِهِ بِالْمَشْهَدِ لا يَدْفَعُهُ الْوَصِيُّ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدْ عَلِمَهُ.
26. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd al-’Aziz ibn al-Muhtadiy [from his grandfather] from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Sa‘d ibn Sa‘d who has narrated the following: “I once asked him [abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’  ] about the case of a man who has a son, whom he called his son then denied and removed him from the list of his heirs, and I am the executor of the will. What must I do? He, al-Rida’ ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘He is considered his son because of his confession in public. The executor of the will cannot remove him from anything that he knows.’”
