سُئِلَ رَجُلٌ لَهُ مَالٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ عِينَةٍ عَيَّنَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا حَلَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَالُ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُعْطِيهِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُقَلِّبَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَرْبَحَ أَ يَبِيعُهُ لُؤْلُؤاً وَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مَا يَسْوَى مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ يُؤَخِّرَهُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ فِي شَيْءٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Haroun Bin Muslim, form Mas’ada Bin sadaqa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A man asked him<sup>asws</sup>, and for him was some wealth upon a man from on credit which he had lent to him. So when the (payment) of the goods was due upon him, he did not give it to him. So he wanted that it be turned over for him, and he would profit him. Can he sell a pearl or other than that what would be equal to one hundred Dirhams, from one thousand Dirhams and delay it (the payment)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with that. My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> had done that, may Allah<sup>azwj</sup> be Please with him<sup>asws</sup>, and had instructed me<sup>asws</sup> that I<sup>asws</sup> should do that with regards to anything which was upon him<sup>asws</sup>’.
