قَالَ غُلَامٌ سِنْدِيٌّ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي قُلْتُ لِمَوْلَايَ بِعْنِي بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنْ كَانَ يَوْمَ شَرَطْتَ لَكَ مَالٌ فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَالٌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Fuzayl who said, ‘A slave on loan said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I 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 it was that there was wealth for you on the day you stipulated, so it would be upon you that you give it, and if there did not happen to be any wealth for you on that day, so there is nothing upon you’.
