Hadith.3638 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Handle your major affairs personally, and delegate the smaller ones to others." It was asked: "What kind of tasks are you referring to?" Imam (as) replied: "Matters like buying and selling properties and similar transactions."
3638 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "بَاشِرْ كِبَارَ أُمُورِكَ بِنَفْسِكَ وَ كِلْ مَا صَغُرَ مِنْهَا إِلَى غَيْرِكَ " فَقِيلَ ضَرْبُ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ "ضَرْبُ أَشْرِيَةِ اَلْعَقَارِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهَا".
