Chapter on Trade, Its Etiquettes, Virtues, and Jurisprudence
وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ: "اَلسَّمَاحُ وَجْهٌ مِنَ اَلرَّبَاحِ" قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "ذَلِكَ لِرَجُلٍ يُوصِيهِ وَ مَعَهُ سِلْعَةٌ يَبِيعُهَا".
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: I heard the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) say, "Leniency is a means of profit." Imam عليه السلام then said: "This applies to a man who is advised while he has goods to sell."
