قَالَ غُلَامٌ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي كُنْتُ قُلْتُ لِمَوْلَايَ بِعْنِي بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ يَوْمَ شَرَطْتَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ شَيْ‌ءٌ فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَيْ‌ءٌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ.
