سَأَلْتُهُ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْعَبْدِ يُكَاتِبُهُ مَوْلَاهُ وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُ قَلِيلًا وَ كَثِيراً قَالَ يُكَاتِبُهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَ يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ وَ لَا يَمْنَعُهُ الْمُكَاتَبَةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ الْعِبَادَ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مُعَانٌ وَ يُقَالُ وَ الْمُحْسِنُ مُعَانٌ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from his brother Al Hassan, from Zurara, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the slave whose master contracted him, and he knew that he would not own little or more. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should contract him, and if the people had asked, he would not be prevented from contracting him from a term if there is not wealth for him, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Sustains the servants, from each other, and the Believer is Assisted, and it is said, ‘And the benevolent is Assisted’’.
