سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ قَاضٍ مِنْ قُضَاةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلَانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنِّي تَكَارَيْتُ هَذَا يُوَافِي بِيَ السُّوقَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَهُ كِرَاءٌ قَالَ فَدَعَوْتُهُ وَ قُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ بِحَقِّهِ وَ قُلْتُ لِلْآخَرِ لَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ كُلَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ اصْطَلِحَا فَتَرَادَّا بَيْنَكُمَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> I was seated in the presence of a judge from the judges of Al Medina, so two men came over to him. So one of the two said, ‘I hired this one to meet with me in the market on such and such a day, and he did not do it’. So he said, ‘There is no fee for him’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So I<sup>asws</sup> called him over and said, ‘O servant of Allah<sup>ajwj</sup>! It is not for you that you go away with his right’. And I<sup>asws</sup> said to the other one: ‘It is not for you that you take everything which was upon him. Reconcile, so returns (some fees) between you two’.
