Hadith 127
۞
Hadith.3270 - Aban narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who reported from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding a man who owes a debt with a specified due date.
The creditor comes to him and says, "Pay me such-and-such amount from what you owe, and I will waive the rest," or says, "Pay me a part now, and I will extend the deadline for the remainder."
Imam (as) said
"I see no harm in it, as long as nothing is added to the principal amount."
Allah (swt), the Almighty, says: 'Then you shall have your principal; you shall not wrong, nor shall you be wronged.' (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:279)"
3270 - وَ رَوَى أَبَانٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَيَأْتِيهِ غَرِيمُهُ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُ اُنْقُدْ لِي مِنَ اَلَّذِي لِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ أَضَعُ لَكَ بَقِيَّتَهُ أَوْ يَقُولُ اُنْقُدْ لِي بَعْضاً وَ أَمُدُّ لَكَ فِي اَلْأَجَلِ فِيمَا بَقِيَ فَقَالَ "لاَ أَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً مَا لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَأْسِ مَالِهِ شَيْئاً يَقُولُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
فَلَكُمْ رُؤُسُ أَمْوٰالِكُمْ لاٰ تَظْلِمُونَ وَ لاٰ تُظْلَمُونَ ".
