قَامَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى دَارِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَ كَانَ يُقَامُ فِيهَا الْإِبِلُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعَاشِرَ السَّمَاسِرَةِ أَقِلُّوا الْأَيْمَانَ فَإِنَّهَا مَنْفَقَةٌ لِلسِّلْعَةِ مَمْحَقَةٌ لِلرِّبْحِ .


Translation

And from him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Aban Bin Taghlub, from Abu Hamza, raising it, said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> stood at the door of Ibn Abu Mueet, and the camels used to stand therein, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O group of middlemen! Lessen the oaths, for (although) these are more profitable for the price, (but) are (eventually) destructive for the profits’.
