قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) مَنِ اتَّجَرَ مَالًا وَ اشْتَرَطَ نِصْفَ الرِّبْحِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ ضَمَانٌ وَ قَالَ مَنْ ضَمَّنَ تَاجِراً فَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِلَّا رَأْسُ مَالِهِ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنَ الرِّبْحِ شَيْءٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn 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: ‘The one who conducts some business with wealth and half the profits are stipulated (for the lender), so there is no liability upon him’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who holds the merchant liable so there would not be for him except for the capital of his wealth, and there would not be for him anything from the profits (since he does not share the loss)’.
