8. Humayd ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah, from ibn Ribat and ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan, al-Awwal (a.s.), about the case of a man who has several sons, of whom one disappeared and he did not know where he was. The man died. What must be done with his share of legacy from his father? He (the Imam) said, ‘It must be kept aside until he comes? I then asked if there is Zakat on his assets. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, there is no Zakat until he comes? I then asked if he must pay Zakat when he comes. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, until one year passes with the asset in his possession? I then said, ‘The man is lost and he has not come back? He (the Imam) said, ‘If the heirs of the man can be trusted about his assets, they can distribute it among themselves and when he comes give it to him?”
8- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الأوَّلِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ وُلْدٌ فَغَابَ بَعْضُ وُلْدِهِ وَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَيْنَ هُوَ وَمَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ يُصْنَعُ بِمِيرَاثِ الرَّجُلِ الْغَائِبِ مِنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ يُعْزَلُ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ قُلْتُ فَعَلَى مَالِهِ زَكَاةٌ قَالَ لا حَتَّى يَجِيءَ قُلْتُ فَإِذَا جَاءَ يُزَكِّيهِ قَالَ لا حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ فِي يَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ فُقِدَ الرَّجُلُ فَلَمْ يَجِئْ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ وَرَثَةُ الرَّجُلِ مِلاءً بِمَالِهِ اقْتَسَمُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَاءَ رَدُّوهُ عَلَيْهِ.
