قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الشَّيْءُ يَتَبَلَّغُ بِهِ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ أَ يُطْعِمُهُ عِيَالَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَيْسَرَةٍ فَيَقْضِيَ دَيْنَهُ أَوْ يَسْتَقْرِضُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فِي خُبْثِ الزَّمَانِ وَ شِدَّةِ الْمَكَاسِبِ أَوْ يَقْبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ قَالَ يَقْضِي بِمَا عِنْدَهُ دَيْنَهُ وَ لَا يَأْكُلْ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا وَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- لا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْباطِلِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تِجارَةً عَنْ تَراضٍ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يَسْتَقْرِضْ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ إِلَّا وَ عِنْدَهُ وَفَاءٌ وَ لَوْ طَافَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ النَّاسِ فَرَدُّوهُ بِاللُّقْمَةِ وَ اللُّقْمَتَيْنِ وَ التَّمْرَةِ وَ التَّمْرَتَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ يَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مِنْ مَيِّتٍ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ وَلِيّاً يَقُومُ فِي عِدَتِهِ وَ دَيْنِهِ فَيَقْضِي عِدَتَهُ وَ دَيْنَهُ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Sanaa ‘ah who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if one of us has a few things in his possession with which he meets his expenses and he also is indebted. Should he feed his family with that which he owns and wait until Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, grants him ease then pay his debts, or should he borrow on his back in difficult times for earning, or should he accept charity?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He has to pay the debt with what he owns, so he does not consume people’s belongings, except if he has something with which he can pay off their rights. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “You must not consume your belongings among yourselves in false manners unless it is a trading by mutual consent among you.” (4:29) He must not borrow on his back unless he has something with which he can make payment, he may also go door to door and they may send him back with a morsel or two or one piece of date or two, unless he has a heir (guardian) who pays off after him; no one of us dies for whom Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, does not make a heir (guardian) who takes charge of his means and his debts to make payments by his means.’”
