五分律第二十四卷中明看病法　有諸看病人。或為病人。或為私行。去後命過。餘人得衣鉢不。以是白佛。佛言。不應趣爾與一人應與究竟看病者。有一比丘病。看病人多。諸比丘不知幾人應得衣。以是白佛。佛言。若比丘命過。應與二人衣。比丘沙彌。雖父母兄弟亦不應與。若比丘尼死應與三人衣物。比丘尼式叉尼沙彌尼。有諸比丘。分看病人物與沙彌三分一。以是白佛。佛言。應等與分　摩德勒伽論云。白衣作看病人應與少許。比丘尼式叉摩那沙彌尼亦如是。

The Mahīśāsaka-vinaya, fascicle twenty-four, clarifies the rules for caring for the sick: There were various caregivers of the sick who left, either for the patient's sake or on private business, after which the patient passed away; [they asked] whether other people might obtain the robes and bowl. They reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, "You should not give them arbitrarily to just one person; they should be given to the one who cared for the sick to the end." A monk was sick, and there were many caregivers; the monks did not know how many persons should receive robes. They reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, "If a monk passes away, the robes should be given to two persons: a monk and a śrāmaṇera; even if they are parents or brothers, they should not be given [a share]. If a bhikṣuṇī dies, the robes and articles should be given to three persons: a bhikṣuṇī, a śikṣamāṇā, and a śrāmaṇerī." There were monks who divided the sick person's property, giving a śrāmaṇera one third. They reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, "They should be divided and given equally." The Mātṛkā-śāstra states: "If a layperson acts as caregiver of the sick, he should be given a small portion. The same applies to bhikṣuṇīs, śikṣamāṇās, and śrāmaṇerīs."
