كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ فَلَمْ يَحْفَظِ الْوَصِيُّ إِلَّا بَاباً وَاحِداً مِنْهَا- كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فِي الْبَاقِي فَوَقَّعَ ع الْأَبْوَابُ الْبَاقِيَةُ يَجْعَلُهَا فِي الْبِرِّ.

7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Rayyan who has narrated the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and asked him about a man who makes a will but the executor of the will executes only one item of it. What must he do about the other items? He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ‘He can spend the other chapters (items) in good causes.’”
