Hadith.1704 - It was said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Abdul Rahman bin Sayaba has a debt owed to him by a man who has passed away, and we spoke to him to forgive it, but he refused."
Imam (as) said: "Woe to him! Does he not know that for every dirham he forgives, he will receive ten in return? But if he does not forgive it, then he will only receive one dirham in exchange for one dirham."
1704 - قِيلَ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : إِنَّ لِعَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ دَيْناً عَلَى رَجُلٍ قَدْ مَاتَ وَ كَلَّمْنَاهُ أَنْ يُحَلِّلَهُ فَأَبَى فَقَالَ «وَيْحَهُ أَ مَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لَهُ بِكُلِّ دِرْهَمٍ عَشَرَةً إِذَا حَلَّلَهُ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُحَلِّلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا لَهُ دِرْهَمٌ بَدَلَ دِرْهَمٍ ».
