أَرَادُوا بَيْعَ تَمْرِ عَيْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَمَرْتُ مُعَاذاً فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهُ يَشْتَرِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَشْتَرِهِ اشْتَرَاهُ غَيْرُهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Salih who said, ‘I wanted to sell the dates of Abu Ziyad (a plantation), so I wanted to buy it. Then I said (to myself), ‘(I shall wait) until Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> instructs me so’. So I instructed Moaz, so he asked him<sup>asws</sup>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Say to him, ‘Buy it’, for if he does not buy it, someone else will buy it’.
