سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَقْرِضُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الدَّرَاهِمَ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمِثْقَالَ أَوْ يَسْتَقْرِضُ الْمِثْقَالَ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ الدَّرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ شَرْطٌ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ إِنَّ أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ كَانَ يَسْتَقْرِضُ الدَّرَاهِمَ الْفُسُولَةَ فَيُدْخِلُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّرَاهِمَ الْجِلَالَ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ رُدَّهَا عَلَى الَّذِي اسْتَقْرَضْتُهَا مِنْهُ فَأَقُولُ يَا أَبَهْ إِنَّ دَرَاهِمَهُ كَانَتْ فُسُولَةً وَ هَذِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا فَيَقُولُ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ الْفَضْلُ فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan, from abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who borrows the Dirhams from the man and he returned to him the <span class="iTxt">Misqaal</span> (a unit of weight), or he borrows the <span class="iTxt">Misqaal</span> and he returned the Dirhams to him. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When there does not happen to be a stipulation, so there is no problem, and that is the excess. My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>, may Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on him<sup>asws</sup>, had borrowed the inferior Dirhams, so he<sup>asws</sup> included the superior Dirhams and said to me<sup>asws</sup>: ‘O my<sup>asws</sup> son<sup>asws</sup>! Return these upon the one whom I<sup>asws</sup> had borrowed from’. So I<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O father<sup>asws</sup>! His Dirhams were inferior, and these ones are better from those’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O my<sup>asws</sup> son<sup>asws</sup>! This is the grace, so give it to him’.
