Hadith.3945 - Ubaydullah bin Ali Al-Halabi narrated from Abu Abdillah (as): Imam (as) was asked about a man who lent dirhams in advance for five measures of wheat or barley until a specified time. When the payment became due, the debtor was unable to repay the full amount of wheat or barley. The creditor wanted to take half, a third, or less or more of the food, and receive the remaining amount in dirhams equivalent to the value of the rest. Imam (as) said
"There is no harm in that." Imam (as) was also asked about saffron, where a man lent dirhams in advance for twenty mithqals, or more or less. Imam (as) said: "There is no harm if the debtor cannot deliver the full amount of saffron. The creditor may take half, a third, or two-thirds of his right and receive the remaining value of what is owed in dirhams."
3945 - وَ رَوَى عُبَيْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَسْلَمَ دَرَاهِمَ فِي خَمْسَةِ مَخَاتِيمِ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَ
كَانَ اَلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ اَلْحِنْطَةُ وَ اَلشَّعِيرُ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ جَمِيعَ اَلَّذِي حَلَّ فَشَاءَ صَاحِبُ اَلْحَقِّ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ نِصْفَ اَلطَّعَامِ أَوْ ثُلُثَهُ أَوْ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَ يَأْخُذَ رَأْسَ مَالِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ اَلطَّعَامِ دَرَاهِمَ قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ" قَالَ وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلزَّعْفَرَانِ يُسْلِفُ فِيهِ اَلرَّجُلُ دَرَاهِمَ فِي عِشْرِينَ مِثْقَالاً أَوْ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ إِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرِ اَلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ اَلزَّعْفَرَانُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ جَمِيعَ مَالِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ نِصْفَ حَقِّهِ أَوْ ثُلُثَهُ أَوْ ثُلُثَيْهِ وَ يَأْخُذَ رَأْسَ مَالِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ حَقِّهِ دَرَاهِمَ".
