في الرجل يكون له المال القليل أيوصي فيه؟
A man with little wealth: should he make a bequest from it?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32994 — A man with little wealth: should he
٣٢٩٩٤ - حدثنا أبو خالد عن هشام عن أبيه أن عليًا دخل على رجل من بني هاشم يعوده فأراد أن يوصي فنهاه، وقال إن اللَّه يقول: ﴿إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا﴾ وإنك لم تدع مالًا فدعه لعيالك (١).
Urwah reported that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to a man of Banu Hashim to visit him in his illness. The man was about to make a bequest, but he forbade him and said: "Allah Almighty has said: 'If (the dying person) leaves wealth,' and you are not dying and leaving any wealth, so leave what there is for your children!"
