1659 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ اَلْقَمَّاطِينَ فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ تَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِينَا اَلْأَرْبَاحُ وَ اَلْأَمْوَالُ وَ تِجَارَاتٌ نَعْرِفُ أَنَّ حَقَّكَ فِيهَا ثَابِتٌ وَ إِنَّا عَنْ ذَلِكَ مُقَصِّرُونَ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «مَا أَنْصَفْنَاكُمْ إِنْ كَلَّفْنَاكُمْ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ ».
Hadith.1659 - It is narrated from Yunus ibn Ya’qub, who said:
I was with Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq when a man from among the merchants entered and said:
"May I be your ransom! We come across profits, wealth, and trade, and we know that your right in them is established, yet we fall short in fulfilling that."
The Imam
replied: "We would not be just to you if we demanded that of you today."
