قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلَ فَيَقُولُ اكْتُبْ لِي بِدَرَاهِمَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ آخُذُ مِنْكَ وَ أَكْتُبُ لَكَ [بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ] قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ مَمْلُوكاً فَقَالَ الْمَمْلُوكُ أَرْضِ مَوْلَايَ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ لِي عَلَيْكَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا دَرَاهِمَ مُسَمَّاةً فَهَلْ يَلْزَمُ الْمُسْتَأْجِرَ وَ هَلْ يَحِلُّ لِلْمَمْلُوكِ قَالَ لَا يَلْزَمُ الْمُسْتَأْجِرَ وَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِلْمُلُوكِ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Ismail Bin Ammar, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man comes over to the man so he is saying, ‘Write out (a promissory note) for me with the Dirhams’. So he is saying to him, ‘I shall take from you and (then) I shall write for you’, in front of him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘There is no problem’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who employs an owned slave, so the slave said, ‘Ask my master with whatever you so desire to, and for me, upon you would be such and such specified amount of Dirhams. So, does it obligate the employer, and is it Permissible for the owned slave?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Neither does it obligate the employer nor is it Permissible for the slave’.
