Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 27
وَ رَوَى جَمِيلُ بْنُ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَصْلَحَكَ اَللَّهُ إِنَّا نُخَالِطُ نَفَراً مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلسَّوَادِ فَنُقْرِضُهُمُ اَلْقَرْضَ وَ يَصْرِفُونَ إِلَيْنَا غَلاَّتِهِمْ فَنَبِيعُهَا لَهُمْ بِأَجْرٍ وَ لَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ مَنْفَعَةٌ فَقَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ" وَ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ قَالَ وَ لَوْ لاَ مَا يَصْرِفُونَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ غَلاَّتِهِمْ لَمْ نُقْرِضْهُمْ فَقَالَ "لاَ بَأْسَ".
Jamil ibn Darraj narrated from a man who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى rectify your affairs. We interact with some people from the countryside, and we lend them loans. They deliver their crops to us, and we sell them for a fee, and we benefit from this arrangement." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it." And I believe he also said: "If it were not for the crops they deliver to us, we would not lend to them." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it."
