سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَسْلَفْتُهُ دَرَاهِمَ فِي طَعَامٍ فَلَمَّا حَلَّ طَعَامِي عَلَيْهِ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ بِدَرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ اشْتَرِ لِنَفْسِكَ طَعَاماً وَ اسْتَوْفِ حَقَّكَ قَالَ أَرَى أَنْ يُوَلَّى ذَلِكَ غَيْرُكَ وَ تَقُومَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى تَقْبِضَ الَّذِي لَكَ وَ لَا تَتَوَلَّى أَنْتَ شِرَاهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahy, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man with whom I left Dirhams regarding foodstuff. So when my foodstuff was released to him, he sent the Dirhams back to me. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Buy foodstuff for yourself and fulfill your right. I see that you should put some one in charge other than you, and you should stand with him until you take hold of that which is for you, and you should not rely upon yourself (alone) for its buying’.
