11- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالدَّيْنَ فَإِنَّهُ مَذَلَّةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ وَمَهَمَّةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَقَضَاءٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَقَضَاءٌ فِي الآخِرَةِ.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ariy from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, from his ancestors from Ali عليه السلام, has stated this Hadith. ‘Beware of debts; it humiliates during the day and causes sadness during the night and it is payable both in this world and in the hereafter.’”
