لَهُ أَفْعَلُ أَوْ قَدْ فَعَلَ فَأَجَابَ فِيهِ لَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا مَا عَقَدَ عَلَيْهِ قَلْبَهُ وَ ثَبَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ عَزِيمَتُهُ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, (It has been narrated) from Abdullah Bin Al Khazraj that he wrote to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man sent a proposal to a man, so the days were prolonged with it, and the months, and the years. So can he go to him to be saying to him, ‘Do it’, or ‘Have you done it’?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> answered with regards to it: ‘It is not Obligatory upon him except what his heart is tied down with, and about which his decision is established’.
