سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنَّ أَخِي يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ يَجْلِبُ الْغَنَمَ فَيُسْلِمُ فِي الْغَنَمِ فِي أَسْنَانٍ مَعْلُومَةٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَيُعْطِي الرَّبَاعَ مَكَانَ الثَّنِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ بِطِيبَةِ نَفْسٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Quteyba Al A’asha who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked and I was in his<sup>asws</sup> presence, so a man said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘My brother stays behind at the mountain milking the sheep, so he submits an advance payment regarding the sheep of known years, to a known term. So he is given the four year old in place of the five year old’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Is it by the agreement of his companion himself?’ So he said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’.
