سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِيئُنِي فَأَشْتَرِي لَهُ الْمَتَاعَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ أَضْمَنُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ يَجِيئُنِي بِالدَّرَاهِمِ فَآخُذُهَا وَ أَحْبِسُهَا عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا وَ آخُذُ الدَّرَاهِمَ الْجِيَادَ وَ أُعْطِي دُونَهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَضْمَنُ فَرُبَّمَا اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَعَجَّلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ وَ يَحْبِسُ بَعْدَ مَا يَأْخُذُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from safwan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the man who came to me, so I bought goods for him from the people and I guaranteed on his behalf. Then he came to me with the Dirhams. I took and withheld them from their owner, then took the good quality Dirhams and gave them of lower quality. He<sup>asws</sup> (the Imam) said, ‘He guaranteed payment, perhaps it became severe upon him so he hurried to pay before he (the guarantor) asks for payment. He (the guarantor) withholds payment after receiving, it is not unlawful.’”.
