Chapter on Guarantee
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 38
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَوْلُ اَلنَّاسِ اَلضَّامِنُ غَارِمٌ فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ عَلَى اَلضَّامِنِ غُرْمٌ إِنَّمَا اَلْغُرْمُ عَلَى مَنْ أَكَلَ اَلْمَالَ".
It is narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Khalid who said: I said to Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, "May I be your ransom! People say, 'The guarantor (al-damin) is liable (gharim).'" Imam عليه السلام replied: "There is no liability (ghurm) upon the guarantor. The liability is upon the one who consumed the wealth."
