سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَرْهَنُ الْعَبْدَ أَوِ الثَّوْبَ أَوِ الْحُلِيَّ أَوْ مَتَاعاً مِنْ مَتَاعِ الْبَيْتِ فَيَقُولُ صَاحِبُ الْمَتَاعِ لِلْمُرْتَهِنِ أَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ لُبْسِ هَذَا الثَّوْبِ فَالْبَسِ الثَّوْبَ وَ انْتَفِعْ بِالْمَتَاعِ وَ اسْتَخْدِمِ الْخَادِمَ قَالَ هُوَ لَهُ حَلَالٌ إِذَا أَحَلَّهُ وَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ قُلْتُ فَارْتَهَنَ دَاراً لَهَا غَلَّةٌ لِمَنِ الْغَلَّةُ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِ الدَّارِ قُلْتُ فَارْتَهَنَ أَرْضاً بَيْضَاءَ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الْأَرْضِ ازْرَعْهَا لِنَفْسِكَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هَذَا مِثْلَ هَذَا يَزْرَعُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ حَلَالٌ كَمَا أَحَلَّهُ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَزْرَعُ بِمَالِهِ وَ يَعْمُرُهَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> about the man who mortgages the slave, or the clothes, or jewellery, or goods from the chattels of the house. So the owner of the goods is saying to the mortgagee, ‘You are free from wearing these clothes, so wear the clothes and spend with the goods, and make the servants to serve’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is Permissible for him when it is freed for him, and I<sup>asws</sup> would not like it if he did it’. I said, ‘Supposing he mortgages a house which had a yield for it. For whom would the yield be?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For the owner of the house’. I said, ‘Supposing one mortgages a barren land, so the owner of the land says, ‘Cultivate it for yourself’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is not like that. He can cultivate it for himself, for it is Permissible for him just as he has permitted it for him, except that he would be cultivating it with his own wealth and fill it’.
