2.4

十誦律雜誦第四卷中囑授文　佛在舍衛國。有一病比丘語看病人言。汝能好看我愛念我。我若命終所有物盡當與汝。語已命終。佛鳴鎚集僧。佛語看病人云。比丘所有物盡持來。現前僧分。看病人言。非僧物。何以故。我看病人。病人語我。汝能好看我愛念我。我若命終所有諸物盡當與汝。是故非僧物。諸比丘以是白佛。佛言。無如是死當與法。若比丘命終現前應分。有白衣病。語諸親里。若我死後財物與我兒。語已命終過。是比丘後還家。共相問說已。親里言。言汝父臨死時囑此諸物與大德。比丘答言。佛未聽我受死後施。以是白佛。佛言。先為比丘故說。非為白衣。應隨意取（出僧一第一卷）。

The text on entrustment in the fourth fascicle of the 'Miscellaneous Recitations' of the Daśādhyāya-vinaya: The Buddha was in Śrāvastī. A sick monk said to his gilānopasthāyaka: 'If you take good care of me and cherish me, when my life ends, I shall give you all the possessions I have.' Having spoken, his life ended. The Buddha struck the mallet and assembled the Saṃgha. The Buddha said to the gilānopasthāyaka: 'Bring all the monk's possessions; the sammukhībhūta-saṃgha shall divide them.' The gilānopasthāyaka said: 'This is not the Saṃgha's property. Why? I am the gilānopasthāyaka; the sick person told me: "If you take good care of me and cherish me, when my life ends, I shall give you all my possessions." Therefore, it is not the Saṃgha's property.' The monks reported this to the Buddha. The Buddha said: 'There is no such rule of giving upon death. When a monk dies, it should be distributed among those present.' There was a sick layperson who said to his relatives: 'If I die, give my wealth and possessions to my son.' Having spoken, his life ended. Later, that monk returned home. After they inquired after one another, the relatives said: 'Your father, when on the verge of death, entrusted these things to you, venerable sir.' The monk replied: 'The Buddha has not permitted me to receive gifts given after death.' They reported this to the Buddha. The Buddha said: 'What was said earlier was for the sake of monks, not for laypeople. You may take them as you wish.' (Drawn from the first fascicle of the Ekottara-saṃgha).
