Hadith.3429 - Muhammad ibn Isa ibn Ubayd narrated from his brother Ja'far ibn Isa, who said: I wrote to Abu al-Hasan (as) saying: "May I be your ransom. If a woman dies and her father claims that he had lent her some of the items or servants in her possession, is his claim accepted without evidence, or is it not accepted unless he provides evidence?" Imam (as) wrote in reply: "His claim is accepted without evidence." Ja'far continued: I also wrote to Abu al-Hasan (as), referring to Imam Ali ibn Muhammad (as): "May I be your ransom. If the deceased woman's husband, or the father of her husband, or the mother of her husband, makes a similar claim about lending some of the items or servants, like the father had claimed, would they be treated like the father in their claim?" Imam (as) wrote in reply: "No."
