14- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنَّا نُخَالِطُ أُنَاساً مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّوَادِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ فَنَبِيعُهُمْ وَنَرْبَحُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَشَرَةَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ وَالْعَشَرَةَ ثَلاثَةَ عَشَرَ وَنُؤَخِّرُ ذَلِكَ فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ السَّنَةَ وَنَحْوَهَا وَيَكْتُبُ لَنَا الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَارِهِ أَوْ أَرْضِهِ بِذَلِكَ الْمَالِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْفَضْلُ الَّذِي أَخَذَ مِنَّا شِرَاءً وَقَدْ بَاعَ وَقَبَضَ الثَّمَنَ مِنْهُ فَنَعِدُهُ إِنْ هُوَ جَاءَ بِالْمَالِ إِلَى وَقْتٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ أَنْ نَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ الشِّرَاءَ فَإِنْ جَاءَ الْوَقْتُ وَلَمْ يَأْتِنَا بِالدَّرَاهِمِ فَهُوَ لَنَا فَمَا تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ الشِّرَاءِ قَالَ أَرَى أَنَّهُ لَكَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ وَإِنْ جَاءَ بِالْمَالِ لِلْوَقْتِ فَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ.
14. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Sa‘id ibn Yasar who has said the following:
“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah 
, ‘We meet people who live in tents far from cities and others. We sell to them certain things and make profit like ten, twelve or thirteen and for a payment after a year and so on. The buyer writes for us to leave his house or land if he did not come with payment. He has taken possession and purchase is finalized. We then wait. If he came with payment within the set time his things are returned to him and if he did not come within the set time with payment we take his things. What do you say about it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘I say that if he did not come with payment within the set time his things become yours but if he comes within the set time you must return his things to him.’”
