قُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يَشْتَرِي الْوَصِيفَةَ يُثَبِّتُهَا عِنْدَهُ لِتَزِيدَ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ بَيْعَهَا أَ عَلَى ثَمَنِهَا زَكَاةٌ قَالَ لَا حَتَّى يَبِيعَهَا قُلْتُ فَإِذَا بَاعَهَا يُزَكِّي ثَمَنَهَا قَالَ لَا حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ وَ هُوَ فِي يَدِهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), ‘The man buys the maid to be kept with him in order to increase (her value), and he intends to sell her. Is there <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon her price?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, until he does sell her’. I said, ‘So when he does sell her, he should purify (pay <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) on her price?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, until the year passes by over it, and it (the price) is (still) in his hands’.
