سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع- عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِيئُنِي فَأَشْتَرِي لَهُ الْمَتَاعَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ أَضْمَنُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ يَجِيئُنِي بِالدَّرَاهِمِ فَآخُذُهَا وَ أَحْبِسُهَا عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا وَ آخُذُ الدَّرَاهِمَ الْجِيَادَ وَ أُعْطِي دُونَهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَضْمَنُ فَرُبَّمَا اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَعَجَّلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ وَ يَحْبِسُ بَعْدَ مَا يَأْخُذُ فَلَا بَأْسَ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
4. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a man who came to me; I bought for him goods from people and guaranteed payment on his behalf. Then he came to me with dirham. I took and withheld them from their owner, then took the good quality dirhams and gave them of lower quality. He (the Imam) said, ‘He guaranteed payment, perhaps it became severe upon him so he hurried to pay before he (the guarantor) asks for payment. He (the guarantor) withholds payment after receiving, it is not unlawful.’”
