16- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكَرْخِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ بِعْتُ رَجُلا نَخْلا كَذَا وَكَذَا نَخْلَةً بِكَذَا وَكَذَا دِرْهَماً وَالنَّخْلُ فِيهِ ثَمَرٌ فَانْطَلَقَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِنِّي فَبَاعَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ بِرِبْحٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ نَقَدَنِي وَلا قَبَضَهُ مِنِّي قَالَ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ كَانَ ضَمِنَ لَكَ الثَّمَنَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَالرِّبْحُ لَهُ.
16. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim al-Karkhiy who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, that I had sold palm trees each for such and such number of dirham. The palm trees had fruits on them. The buyer then sold them to another man for a certain amount of profit but he had not paid me anything and had not received any delivery from me. He (the Imam) said, Tt is not harmful. Had he not taken responsibility for payment? 5 I replied, ‘Yes, he had done so. He (the Imam) said, ‘The profit then belongs to him. 5 ”
