فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ حَقٌّ فَفَقَدَهُ وَ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ يَطْلُبُهُ وَ لَا يَدْرِي أَ حَيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ مَيِّتٌ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُ لَهُ وَارِثاً وَ لَا نَسَباً وَ لَا بَلَداً قَالَ اطْلُبْ قَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ طَالَ فَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ قَالَ اطْلُبْهُ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
2. Yunus ibn Thabit and ibn ‘Awn has narrated from Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of a man who has a right on another man. However, he was lost and he did not know where to look for him, not knowing if he is dead or living. He does not know of anyone as his heir, or a town or lineage relation. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must search but if it becomes very long then he must give it in charity.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must search for him.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
