سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ جُلَّةٌ مِنْ بُسْرٍ فَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ جُلَّةً مِنْ رُطَبٍ وَ هِيَ أَقَلُّ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ فَيَكُونُ لِي عَلَيْهِ جُلَّةٌ مِنْ بُسْرٍ فَآخُذُ مِنْهُ جُلَّةً مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا كَانَ مَعْرُوفاً بَيْنَكُمَا .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ali Bin Al Nu’man, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happened to have a basket of unripened dates (as a debt) upon him, so he takes back a basket of fresh dates, and these are less from those’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘Supposing there happens to be for me (a debt) upon him of a basket of unripened debts, so I take a basket of fresh dates from him, and it is more than those?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem when it was a well-known (practice) between the two of you’.
