Chapter on the Obligation to Return the Sold Item Due to the Option of Inspection
رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى ضَيْعَةً وَ قَدْ كَانَ يَدْخُلُهَا وَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْ نَقَدَ اَلْمَالَ صَارَ إِلَى اَلضَّيْعَةِ فَفَتَّشَهَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَاسْتَقَالَ صَاحِبَهُ فَلَمْ يُقِلْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَوْ قَلَّبَهَا وَ نَظَرَ مِنْهَا إِلَى تِسْعٍ وَ تِسْعِينَ قِطْعَةً ثُمَّ بَقِيَ مِنْهَا قِطْعَةٌ لَمْ يَرَهَا لَكَانَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ خِيَارُ اَلرُّؤْيَةِ".
Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrates from Jamil ibn Darraj, who said: I asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a man who purchased a property. He used to enter and leave it, but after paying the price and inspecting the property, he returned and requested the seller to annul the sale, but the seller refused. Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, said: "Even if he had examined and inspected ninety-nine parts of it, and one part remained unseen, he would still have the right of option (Khiyar al-Ru'yah) based on inspection."
