291 - رِبحُ المُؤمِنِ عَلَى المُؤمِنِ‏

291. The Profit of A Believer From Another

956.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : رِبْحُ المؤمنِ على‏ المؤمنِ رِبا ، إلّاأنْ يَشْتريَ بأكْثَرَ مِن مائةِ دِرْهَمٍ فاربَحْ علَيهِ قُوتَ يَومِكَ ، أو يَشْتَرِيَهُ للتِّجارةِ فارْبَحُوا علَيهِم وارْفُقوا بهِم .¹

956.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'The profit of a believer from another is usury, unless he buys with more than one hundred dirhams, whereupon you can profit as much as your day's sustenance; or if he buys it for trading, then you can profit, but be moderate with them.' ²

957.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - وقد سُئلَ عنِ الخَبَرِ الّذي رُويَ‏أنّ رِبْحَ المؤمنِ على‏ المؤمنِ رِبا ، ما هُو ؟ - : ذاكَ إذا ظَهرَ الحقُّ وقامَ قائمُنا أهلَ البيتِ ، فأمّا اليومَ فلا بأسَ .³

957. Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when he was asked about the statement: 'The profit of a believer from another is usury', replied, 'That is when equity prevails, and our Qa?im [i.e. the Mahdi] appears; but for now, it does not matter.' ⁴

290 - التَّسويَةُ بَينَ المُماكِسِ وغَيرِهِ‏

290. Equality Between One Who Bargains And One Who Does Not

955.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - في رجُلٍ عِندَهُ بَيْعٌ ، فَسَعّرَهُ سِعْراً مَعلوماً ، فمَنْ سَكَتَ عنهُ مِمّنْ يَشْتري مِنهُ باعَهُ بذلكَ السِّعْرِ ، ومَن ماكَسَهُ وأبى‏ أنْ يَبْتاعَ مِنهُ زادَهُ - : لو كانَ يَزيدُ الرَّجُلَينِ والثَّلاثةَ لم يَكُنْ بذلكَ بَأسٌ ، فأمَّا أنْ يَفعَلَهُ بمَن أبى‏ علَيهِ وكايَسَهُ ويَمْنَعَهُ مِمَّن لَم يَفْعَلْ ذلك فلا يُعْجِبُني إلّا أنْ يَبيعَهُ بَيْعاً واحِداً¹ .

955. Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said regarding a man who has a commodity and marks it for sale at a certain price; he would sell it to any silent buyer for the marked price, but he would make a better offer for the bargainer: 'If he were to make a better offer for two or three men, it would not be a problem; but if he does that for everyone who bargains with him and not for non-bargainers, his deed would not appeal to me, unless he sells it all in one deal.' ²
