Al-Kafi 13199

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Naeem, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Musa^asws, said, ‘I asked him^asws about a man who made a house for a man to settle in during his lifetime, or made it for him and his offspring from after him. He said, ‘it is for him, and for his offspring from after him just as stipulated’. I said, ‘So if he is needy, can he sell it?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So does his sale revoke the rented house?’. He^asws said: ‘The sale does not revoke the rented house, such is how I^asws heard my^asws father^asws saying. Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘The sale does not revoke the flow (of rent) nor the settling (tenancy), but it would be sold upon the condition that the one who buys it would not own what he buys until the tenancy is revoked upon what condition and what recompense (rent)’. I said, ‘So if wealth is returned to the tenant, and the entirety of what he had spent, and the building which has been rented?’ He^asws said: ‘Upon the goodness of the self, and the tenant is happy, there is no problem’.
