Abu Ali al-Ash ‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a man who had several sons, of whom one disappeared and he did not know where he was. The man died. What must be done with the share of the legacy for the son who has disappeared? He (the Imam) said, ‘It must be kept aside until he comes?

I then said, ‘The man is lost (the father died) he did not come? He (the Imam) said, ‘If the heirs are trusted for his asset, they can distribute among themselves; and when he comes then give it to him?” A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Hammad from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, a similar Hadith. وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/232))
