4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ اسْتَقْرَضَ قَهْرَمَانٌ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مِنْ رَجُلٍ طَعَاماً لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَأَلَحَّ فِي التَّقَاضِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَلَمْ أَنْهَكَ أَنْ تَسْتَقْرِضَ لِي مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ فَكَانَ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hafs al-Bakhtariy who has said the following: “Once an agent of abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, borrowed a certain amount of food (grain) for abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام. The lender insistently demanded replacement. He (the Imam) said to his agent, ‘Did I not prohibit you the borrowing from one who did not have anything (who has) just then come to own something?”’
