6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Yahya ibn al-Hajjaj from Khalid ibn Najih who has said the following
“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘A man comes to me and says, “Buy this cloth and I give you so and so much profit.’” He (the Imam) asked, ‘Can he take or leave it if he so wants?’ I replied, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is lawful. It is statements that make it lawful as well as unlawful.’”
6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الرَّجُلُ يَجِي‏ءُ فَيَقُولُ اشْتَرِ هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَأُرْبِحَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّمَا يُحَلِّلُ الْكَلامُ وَيُحَرِّمُ الْكَلامُ.
