“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who owes to me a right but he denies it and then leaves in my trust a certain amount of his property: if I can offset my rights with him from his property with me. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, you cannot do so because it is treachery’”
2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لِي عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ فَيَجْحَدُنِيهِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَوْدِعُنِي مَالا أَلِي أَنْ آخُذَ مَالِي عِنْدَهُ قَالَ لا هَذِهِ خِيَانَةٌ.
