Hadith 3096
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ: فِي رَجُلٍ اعْتَرَفَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ لِرَجُلٍ، وَأَقَامَ آخَرُ بَيِّنَةً بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَتَرَكَ الْمَيِّتُ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ، فَقَالَ: "الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مُفْلِسًا، فَلَا يَجُوزُ إِقْرَارُهُ".
It is narrated from Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man, at the time of his death, admitted that a certain person had a thousand dirhams with him. Another man proved with evidence that he too had a thousand dirhams with him, and the deceased left behind only a thousand dirhams. Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The wealth should be divided equally between the two, unless the deceased was insolvent, in which case his statement would not be acceptable.
