دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لِي يَا شَابُّ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تُعَالِجُ فَقُلْتُ الرَّقِيقَ فَقَالَ أُوصِيكَ بِوَصِيَّةٍ فَاحْفَظْهَا لَا تَشْتَرِيَنَّ شَيْناً وَ لَا عَيْباً وَ اسْتَوْثِقْ مِنَ الْعُهْدَةِ.


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Abu Jameela who said, ‘I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O youth! Which thing is your profession?’ So I said, ‘The slaves’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> advise you with an adive, so memorise it. Neither buy anything with a deformity, nor a defact, and affirm the contracts’.
