3935 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُسْلِمُ فِي اَلْحِنْطَةِ أَوِ اَلتَّمْرِ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ فَيَأْتِي صَاحِبُهُ، حِينَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلدَّيْنُ فَيَقُولُ وَ اَللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ نِصْفُ اَلَّذِي لَكَ فَخُذْ مِنِّي إِنْ شِئْتَ بِنِصْفِ اَلَّذِي لَكَ حِنْطَةً وَ نِصْفاً وَرِقاً فَقَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مِنْهُ اَلْوَرِقَ كَمَا أَعْطَاهُ، " قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لِي عَلَيْهِ جُلَّةٌ مِنْ بُسْرٍ فَآخُذُ مِنْهُ جُلَّةً مِنْ رُطَبٍ مَكَانَهَا وَ هِيَ أَقَلُّ مِنْهَا قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ" قُلْتُ فَيَكُونُ لِي عَلَيْهِ جُلَّةٌ مِنْ بُسْرٍ فَآخُذُ مَكَانَهَا جُلَّةً مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهَا قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ إِذَا كَانَ مَعْرُوفاً بَيْنَكُمَا" قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ عَلَى اَلْآخَرِ مِائَةُ كُرٍّ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَ لَهُ نَخْلٌ فَيَأْتِيهِ فَيَقُولُ أَعْطِنِي نَخْلَكَ هَذَا بِمَا عَلَيْكَ فَكَأَنَّهُ كَرِهَهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ عَلَى اَلْآخَرِ أَحْمَالٌ مِنْ رُطَبٍ أَوْ تَمْرٍ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بِدَنَانِيرَ فَيَقُولُ اِشْتَرِ بِهَذِهِ وَ اِسْتَوْفِ مِنْهُ اَلَّذِي لَكَ قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ إِذَا اِئْتَمَنَهُ".
Hadith.3935 - Safwan bin Yahya narrated from Ya'qub bin Shu'ayb, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who makes an advance payment of 100 dirhams for wheat or dates. When the debt becomes due, the seller says, "By Allah (swt), I only have half of what is owed to you. Take half in wheat and the other half in cash if you wish." Imam (as) said: "There is no harm if he takes the cash just as he had given it." He continued: I asked Imam (as) about a man who owes me a basket of ripe dates, and I take instead a basket of fresh dates, which is less in quantity. Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in that." I then asked: "What if I take instead a basket of dried dates, which is more in quantity?" Imam (as) said: "There is no harm as long as it is mutually agreed upon." I also asked Imam (as) about a man who owes another 100 measures of dates, and the creditor offers to take the debtor's palm trees as payment. Imam (as) seemed to dislike this. I then asked Imam (as) about a man who is owed loads of fresh or dried dates and sends dinars to the debtor, saying, "Buy with these and settle my debt." Imam (as) said: "There is no harm if he trusts him."
