Chapter on Advance Payment in Food, Animals, and Other Goods
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَرَاهِمُ مِنْ ثَمَنِ غَنَمٍ اِشْتَرَاهَا مِنْهُ فَأَتَى اَلطَّالِبُ اَلْمَطْلُوبَ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلْمَطْلُوبُ أَبِيعُكَ هَذِهِ اَلْغَنَمَ بِدَرَاهِمِكَ اَلَّتِي لَكَ عِنْدِي فَرَضِيَ قَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ".
It is narrated from Mansur bin Hazim, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام: "A man owed another man dirhams for the price of sheep he had bought from him. The creditor came to demand payment, and the debtor said: 'I will sell you these sheep for the dirhams I owe you.' The creditor agreed." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in that."
