وَ تَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَ لاَ وَارِثَ لَهُ وَ لاَ عَصَبَةَ قَالَ "يُوصِي بِمَالِهِ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ فِي اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ اَلْمَسَاكِينِ وَ اِبْنِ اَلسَّبِيلِ".

Hadith.5469 - And a confirmation of this is what was narrated by Ismaʿil ibn Abi Ziyad Al-Sakuni from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Abu Abdullah Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), that he was asked about a man who dies without leaving behind an heir or any male relative (Aṣabah). Imam (as) said: "He may bequeath his wealth as he wishes among the Muslims, the poor, and the wayfarer."
