Ibn Sinan has narrated from abu Hanifah Sabiq al-Hajj who has said the following: “Al-Mufaddal once passed us nearby, while my daughter in-law and I were disputing about a legacy. He stood by for a while and then said to us, ‘Come to my house.’ We went there and he settled it between us for four hundred dirhams, which he paid from his own pocket until each of us was happy with the other. He then said, ‘It was not from my property. It was from the property of abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.).

He had ordered me that whenever two of our people dispute on an issue; I can settle it from his property. Payment was from the property of abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.).’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (9/145))
