سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ أَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فِي الطَّعَامِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ زَرْعٌ وَ لَا طَعَامٌ وَ لَا حَيَوَانٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ إِذَا حَلَّ الْأَجَلُ اشْتَرَاهُ فَوَفَّاهُ قَالَ إِذَا ضَمِنَهُ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَوْفَانِي بَعْضاً وَ عَجَزَ عَنْ بَعْضٍ أَ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ آخُذَ بِالْبَاقِي رَأْسَ مَالِي قَالَ نَعَمْ مَا أَحْسَنَ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man, is it correct for him that he submits the advance payment regarding the foodstuff with a man, who has neither a plantation with him, nor any foodstuff, nor any livestock, except that when the term arrives, he would buy it and fulfil it (delivery). He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he guarantees it to a named term, so there is no problem with it’. I said, ‘What is your view if he were to fulfil to me with some, and is frustrated from some, is it correct that I take back the capital of my wealth?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes. That is good’.
