1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Safwan from Musa ibn Bakr from Hadid ibn Hakim al- Azdiy who has said the following
“This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who comes to me and asks me for certain goods at the price of ten thousand dirham or less or more but I have only what is worth one thousand dirham. I then borrow from my neighbor and take from this and that person to complete the amount and sell to him; then buy from him or ask someone else to buy from him so that I then can return to the people from whom I had borrowed. He (the Imam) said, It is lawful.’”
1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ حَدِيدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأزْدِيِّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَجِيئُنِي الرَّجُلُ يَطْلُبُ مِنِّي الْمَتَاعَ بِعَشَرَةِ آلافِ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلا بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَأَسْتَعِيرُ مِنْ جَارِي وَآخُذُ مِنْ ذَا وَذَا فَأَبِيعُهُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَشْتَرِيهِ مِنْهُ أَوْ آمُرُ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ فَأَرُدُّهُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِهِ.
