Chapter on Trade, Its Etiquettes, Virtues, and Jurisprudence
وَ رَوَى عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ يَجِيئُنِي اَلرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ تَشْتَرِي لِي فَيَكُونُ مَا عِنْدِي خَيْراً مِنْ مَتَاعِ اَلسُّوقِ قَالَ "إِنْ أَمِنْتَ أَلاَّ يَتَّهِمَكَ فَأَعْطِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ إِنْ خِفْتَ أَنْ يَتَّهِمَكَ فَاشْتَرِ لَهُ مِنَ اَلسُّوقِ".
Uthman ibn Isa narrated from Muyassir who said: I said to Him عليه السلام: "A man comes to me and asks me to buy something for him, but what I have is better than what is available in the market. What should I do?" Imam عليه السلام said: "If you are confident that he will not suspect you, then give him from what you have. But if you fear that he might suspect you, then buy for him from the market."
