Al-Kafi 8898

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘The man comes over to me seeking the goods. So I speak to him (a price) upon the profit. Then I buy it (from someone else) and sell it to him’. So he^asws said: ‘Is it not that if he so desires, so he takes it or if he so desires to, he leaves it?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’. I said, ‘Supposing there is one among us who spoils it?’ He^asws said: ‘And why (would he)?’ I said, ‘Selling what is not with him’. He^asws said: ‘So what are you saying regarding the submission (by the buyer) of the advance payment, and his companion has sold what is not with him?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘So, rather it is correct due to the reason that they are naming it as an advance payment. My^asws father^asws was saying: ‘There is no problem selling every (type of) of goods which you can find during the time in which you sell it’.
