أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ وَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَرَّهَا[3] لَهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
‘It is Makruh (undesirable) for a creditor to lodge with his debtor, even if he has already picked the amount he owes and has made it ready to pay, except for three days.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَنْزِلُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ وَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ أَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ لَا يَأْكُلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً.
“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who lodges with his debtor; if he can use his food. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so for three days but not for more than three days.”’
