26. Ali ibn Muhammad has said the following. “Ibn al-‘Ajami in his will had set aside one third of his properties for the holy location (office of the Imam (a.s.) and had written the deed for it. Before he would take the one third out of his properties he gave a certain amount to his son, abu al-Miqdam, of which no one had any knowledge. He (Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.) wrote to him, “Where is the property that you set aside for abu al-Miqdam?”
26ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ الْعَجَمِيِّ جَعَلَ ثُلُثَهُ لِلنَّاحِيَةِ وَكَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ قَبْلَ إِخْرَاجِهِ الثُّلُثَ دَفَعَ مَالاً لابْنِهِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ لَمْ يَطَّلِعْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَيْنَ الْمَالُ الَّذِي عَزَلْتَهُ لابِي الْمِقْدَامِ.
