وَ سَأَلَهُ سَمَاعَةُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَارَعَ مُسْلِماً أَوْ مُعَاهَداً فَأَنْفَقَ فِيهِ نَفَقَةً ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فِي بَيْعِهِ أَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ "يَشْتَرِيهِ بِالْوَرِقِ فَإِنَّ أَصْلَهُ طَعَامٌ".

Sama'ah asked him about a man who entered into a farming partnership with a Muslim or a covenant holder (Mu'ahid) and spent on it, but then decided to sell it. Imam (a.s) said: "He may sell it for silver coins, for its origin is food."
