John Shaqi

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُعَالِجُ الدَّقِيقَ وَ أَبِيعُهُ وَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ لَا يَنْبَغِي فَقَالَ لَهُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) وَ مَا بَأْسُهُ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا يُبَاعُ إِذَا اتَّقَى اللَّهَ فِيهِ الْعَبْدُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal who said, ‘I heard a man ask Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, so he said, ‘I cure (by) the flour and I sell it (my portion), and the people are saying that it is not befitting for me’. So Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘And what is the problem with it? Everything from what is sold when the servant fears Allah<sup>azwj</sup> , so there is no problem’.
