Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 11
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ بَشَّارِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَبِيعُ اَلْمَتَاعَ بِنَسَاءٍ أَ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ اَلَّذِي يَبِيعُهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ " فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَشْتَرِي مَتَاعِي فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ هُوَ مَتَاعَكَ وَ لاَ بَقَرَكَ وَ لاَ غَنَمَكَ".
Bashshar ibn Yasar narrated: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who sells merchandise for deferred payment (on credit). Can he buy it back from the one to whom he sold it? Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, there is no problem with it." I then asked him: "Can I buy back my own merchandise?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is not your merchandise, nor your cattle, nor your sheep."
