Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 11
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَبْتَاعُ اَلثَّوْبَ مِنَ اَلسُّوقِ لِأَهْلِهِ وَ يَأْخُذُهُ بِشَرْطٍ فَيُعْطَى اَلرِّبْحَ فِي أَهْلِهِ قَالَ "إِنْ رَغِبَ فِي اَلرِّبْحِ فَلْيُوجِبِ اَلثَّوْبَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ لاَ يَجْعَلْ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ اَلثَّوْبَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ إِنْ رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ".
Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, who reported from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: He was asked about a man who buys a garment from the market for his family and takes it with a condition that he may return it if not accepted, but he is offered a profit if his family keeps it. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he desires the profit, then he must make the garment binding upon himself (as a confirmed purchase) and should not intend in his heart to return the garment to its owner if it is returned to him."
