1328. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَكَارَى مِنَ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْبَيْتَ أَوِ اَلسَّفِينَةَ سَنَةً وَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَقَلَّ قَالَ "اَلْكِرَى لاَزِمٌ إِلَى اَلْوَقْتِ اَلَّذِي تَكَارَى إِلَيْهِ وَ اَلْخِيَارُ فِي أَخْذِ اَلْكِرَى إِلَى رَبِّهَا إِنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ".

It is narrated from Ali bin Yaqtin, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (a.s) about a man who rents a house or a boat from another man for a year, more, or less. Imam (a.s) said: "The lease is binding until the agreed-upon time. As for the payment of the rent, it is up to the owner, if he wishes, he may take it, and if he wishes, he may waive it."
