Chapter on Trade, Its Etiquettes, Virtues, and Jurisprudence
وَ رَوَى وَهْبُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: "لاَ يَجُوزُ اَلْعَرَبُونُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَقْداً مِنَ اَلثَّمَنِ".
Wahb ibn Wahb narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام (peace be upon them), that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام used to say: "Earnest money (down payment) is not permissible unless it is part of the price."
