Hadith record

Hadith.5491 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Muawiyah ibn Ammar who said: A woman from my family entrusted me with her wealth and instructed that emancipation (of slaves) be made on her behalf, that Hajj be performed, and that charity be given. However, the amount left was insufficient to cover all that. I consulted Abu Hanifah, and he said: "It should be divided into three parts - one-third for Hajj, one-third for emancipation, and one-third for charity." Then I went to Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) and said to him: "A woman from my family passed away and entrusted me with one-third of her wealth, instructing that Hajj be performed on her behalf, emancipation be made, and charity be given. But the amount was not enough to fulfill all these." Imam (as) said: "Start with Hajj, for it is an obligation from the obligations of Allah (swt), the Exalted. Then divide what remains - part of it for emancipation and part for charity." I informed Abu Hanifah of the statement of Abu Abdullah (as), and he withdrew his previous opinion and accepted the guidance of Abu Abdullah (as).
