قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَأْذَنُ لِمَمْلُوكِهِ فِي التِّجَارَةِ فَيَصِيرُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَذِنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَدِينَ فَالدَّيْنُ عَلَى مَوْلَاهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَدِينَ فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَى الْمَوْلَى وَ يُسْتَسْعَى الْعَبْدُ فِي الدَّيْنِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man permits his owned slave regarding the business, so debts come to be upon him’. He<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘If it was such that it was permitted to him to incur debts, so the debts would be upon his master, and if there did not happen to be a permission for him that he incurs debts, so there would not be anything upon the master, and the slave would have to work regarding the debts’.
