3- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الْمَالُ فَيَجْحَدُهُ فَيَحْلِفُ لَهُ يَمِينَ صَبْرٍ أَلَهُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ مِنْهُ وَكَذَلِكَ إِنِ احْتَسَبَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَطْلُبَهُ مِنْهُ.
3. Ali has narrated from his father from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hammad from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from certain persons of his people who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of a man to whom another man owes a certain amount of assets who denies and takes an oath that he does not owe him anything; if he (plaintiff) must be content with it or there is any remedy for him? He (the Imam) عليه السلام, has said, ‘He does not have any right thereafter and so also is the case if he (plaintiff) waives it for the sake of Allah, he does not have any right to ask for it anymore.’”
