قَالَ غُلَامٌ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي كُنْتُ قُلْتُ لِمَوْلَايَ بِعْنِي بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ يَوْمَ شَرَطْتَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Al Fuzayl who said, ‘A slave said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I had said to my master, ‘Sell me for six hundred Dirhams and I shall give you three hundred Dirhams’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘If there was something for you on the day you stipulated to give him, so it would be upon you that you give it, and if there did not happen to be anything for you on that day, so there is nothing upon you’.
