Original Arabic text

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَدَّبَ نَبِيَّهُ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى بِهِ إِلَى مَا أَرَادَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ لَعَلى‏ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ فَفَوَّضَ إِلَيْهِ دِينَهُ فَقَالَ وَما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَإِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَرَضَ الْفَرَائِضَ وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لِلْجَدِّ شَيْئاً وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَطْعَمَهُ السُّدُسَ فَأَجَازَ الله جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هذا عَطاؤُنا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ.

(64:4). The He made him the in charge of His religion and said, “. .what the Messenger (of Allah) you, you must take (obey) and what he prohibits you, you must desist from. .” (59:7) Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, declared the laws of inheritance and did not assign any part for the grandfather. The Messenger of Allah assigned one sixth for him. Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, granted permission in the matter in His words as follows. “This is our gift to you, you may grant it others or keep it without being held responsible (38:39)”
