قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْطَى رَجُلًا وَرِقاً فِي وَصِيفٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ لَا نَجِدُ لَكَ وَصِيفاً خُذْ مِنِّي قِيمَةَ وَصِيفِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَرِقاً قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا يَأْخُذُ إِلَّا وَصِيفَهُ أَوْ وَرِقَهُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ لَا يَزْدَادُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said regarding a man who gave a (promissory) note to a man as a servant up to a named term. So his companions says to him, ‘We could not find a servant for you, so take the price of your servant today as a (promissory) note’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He can reject to take anything other than his servant or the note that he had given him before without any thing added.
