قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ اشْتَرَى دَيْناً عَلَى رَجُلٍ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الدَّيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ادْفَعْ إِلَيَّ مَا لِفُلَانٍ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدِ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ يَدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ قِيمَةَ مَا دَفَعَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الدَّيْنِ وَ بَرِئَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الْمَالُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, and someone else, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl who said, ‘I said to Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man bought a debt (which was) upon a man. Then he went to the one with the debt, so he said to him, ‘Hand over to me what is upon you for so and so, for I have bought it from him’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should hand over to him the price what he had handed over to the (original) creditor, and the one upon whom was the wealth (debt) would be free from the entirety of what was remaining upon him’.
