10- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لَهُ الْمَالُ قَدْ حَلَّ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ يَبِيعُهُ لُؤْلُؤَةً تَسْوَى مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَيُؤَخِّرُ عَنْهُ الْمَالَ إِلَى وَقْتٍ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ قَدْ أَمَرَنِي أَبِي فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.

10. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from al-Hassan ibn ‘Abd Allah from his uncle, Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’ , about the case of a man to whom someone owes a certain amount of goods and payback time becomes due. His party sells to him a pearl worth a hundred dirham for a thousand dirham and extends the payback time to another appointed time. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful. My father commanded me to do so and did such a deal.’ He (the narrator) thinks that he had asked abu al-Hassan , about it and he (the Imam) had given a similar answer.”
