باب إِذَا أَوْصَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ:Chapter on a man appointing an executor who is absent
Hadith 3275
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: "إِذَا أَوْصَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ، فَلْيَقْبَلْ وَصِيَّتَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حَاضِرًا، فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ: إِنْ شَاءَ، قَبِلَ، وَإِنْ شَاء، َتَرَكَ".
Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: If a man makes a bequest for someone who is absent, then he (the legatee) should accept that bequest, and if he (the legatee) is present, then he has the choice—if he wishes, he may accept it, and if he wishes, he may leave it.
