Hadith.4286 - Ibn Bukayr narrated from Zurarah, who said
I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): "We pass by tax collectors, and they ask us to swear an oath so that they let us go, and they are not satisfied with anything else."
Imam (as) said: "Then swear to them, for it is more lawful than dates and butter."
4286 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ نَمُرُّ بِالْمَالِ عَلَى اَلْعُشَّارِ فَيَطْلُبُونَ مِنَّا أَنْ نَحْلِفَ لَهُمْ وَ يُخَلُّونَ سَبِيلَنَا وَ لاَ يَرْضَوْنَ مِنَّا إِلاَّ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ "فَاحْلِفْ لَهُمْ فَهُوَ أَحَلُّ مِنَ اَلتَّمْرِ وَ اَلزُّبْدِ".
