مَنْ ضَاقَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَعَاشُ أَوْ قَالَ الرِّزْقُ فَلْيَشْتَرِ صِغَاراً وَ لْيَبِعْ كِبَاراً . وَ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) مَنْ أَعْيَتْهُ الْحِيلَةُ فَلْيُعَالِجِ الْكُرْسُفَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Musanna, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The one upon whom the livelihood is straitened’, or said: ‘the sustenance, so let him buy small (animals) and let him sell bigger ones (after they have grown)’. And it is reported from him<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one whose (business) plan does not work out, so let him deal with old cotton’.
