Liability for Profit Sharing, Its Profit and Expenses ( Al-Mudarabah )

6. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of a man who had a certain amount of assets for Mudarabah (profit sharing) with him but made very little profit; and was afraid of the other party’s taking away the capital, so he paid him more than the amount stipulated, so that he would not take the capital away. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”
