٢- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا وَلَمْ يُوصِ فَرُفِعَ أَمْرُهُ إِلَى قَاضِي الْكُوفَةِ فَصَيَّرَ عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ الْقَيِّمَ بِمَالِهِ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ خَلَّفَ وَرَثَةً صِغَاراً وَمَتَاعاً وَجَوَارِيَ فَبَاعَ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ الْمَتَاعَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ بَيْعَ الْجَوَارِي ضَعُفَ قَلْبُهُ فِي بَيْعِهِنَّ إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْمَيِّتُ صَيَّرَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصِيَّةَ وَكَانَ قِيَامُهُ فِيهَا بِأَمْرِ الْقَاضِي لأنَّهُنَّ فُرُوجٌ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لأبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَمُوتُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا وَلا يُوصِي إِلَى أَحَدٍ وَيُخَلِّفُ جَوَارِيَ فَيُقِيمُ الْقَاضِي رَجُلا مِنَّا لِيَبِيعَهُنَّ أَوْ قَالَ يَقُومُ بِذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَيَضْعُفُ قَلْبُهُ لأنَّهُنَّ فُرُوجٌ فَمَا تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ الْقَيِّمُ بِهِ مِثْلَكَ وَمِثْلَ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ فَلا بَأْسَ.
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il who has said the following: “A certain person of our people died without a will and his case was presented before a judge of al- Kufah. ‘Abd al-Hamid was appointed as the supervisor over his affairs. The man had left behind small heirs, assets and slave-girls. ‘Abd al-Hamid sold the assets and when he wanted to sell the slave-girls, His heart became weak in selling them because the deceased had not appointed him as executor of his will and his appointment was because of the order of the judge and it was a matter of Furuj (matters of reproductive issue). I then asked abu Ja’far , about it saying, ‘If a man of our people dies without a will and leaves behind slave-girls, then the judge appoints a man from us as supervisor to sell the slave-girls or says that a man from us looks after this issue and his heart becomes weak because it is a matter of Furuj; what do you say about it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If the supervisor is like you or like ‘Abd al-Hamid it is not unlawful.’”
