Chapter on Advance Payment in Food, Animals, and Other Goods
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلسَّلَمِ فِي اَلْحَيَوَانِ فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ" فَقُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَسْلَمَ فِي أَسْنَانٍ مَعْلُومَةٍ أَوْ شَيْءٍ مَعْلُومٍ مِنَ اَلرَّقِيقِ فَأَعْطَاهُ دُونَ شَرْطِهِ أَوْ فَوْقَهُ بِطِيبَةِ نَفْسٍ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ".
Ali bin Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about salam transactions involving animals. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it." I then asked: "What if he specifies particular ages or certain characteristics of slaves and delivers something less or more than the condition agreed upon, with mutual consent?" Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in that."
