37. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Musa ibn Ja‘far from Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman al- Nawfaliy who has narrated the following
“I once wrote to abu Ja‘far, al-Thaniy (a.s.), and asked about a land that my grandfather had made an endowment for the needy children of so and so who are of a large number in different places. He (the Imam) (a.s.), said, ‘You have mentioned the land that your grandfather had made an endowment for the needy children of so and so. It is for those of them who are in the area (town) in which the endowment exists and you do not have to search for everyone who is absent.’”
37- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ قَالَ
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَسْأَلُ عَنْ أَرْضٍ أَوْقَفَهَا جَدِّي عَلَى الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنْ وُلْدِ فُلانِ بْنِ فُلانٍ وَهُمْ كَثِيرٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ فِي الْبِلادِ فَأَجَابَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ذَكَرْتَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي أَوْقَفَهَا جَدُّكَ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ وُلْدِ فُلانِ بْنِ فُلانٍ وَهِيَ لِمَنْ حَضَرَ الْبَلَدَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْوَقْفُ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تُتْبِعَ مَنْ كَانَ غَائِباً.
