Hadith.3935 - Safwan bin Yahya narrated from Ya'qub bin Shu'ayb, who said
I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who makes an advance payment of 100 dirhams for wheat or dates.
When the debt becomes due, the seller says, "By Allah (swt), I only have half of what is owed to you. Take half in wheat and the other half in cash if you wish."
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm if he takes the cash just as he had given it."
He continued: I asked Imam (as) about a man who owes me a basket of ripe dates, and I take instead a basket of fresh dates, which is less in quantity.
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in that."
I then asked: "What if I take instead a basket of dried dates, which is more in quantity?"
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm as long as it is mutually agreed upon."
I also asked Imam (as) about a man who owes another 100 measures of dates, and the creditor offers to take the debtor's palm trees as payment.
Imam (as) seemed to dislike this.
I then asked Imam (as) about a man who is owed loads of fresh or dried dates and sends dinars to the debtor, saying, "Buy with these and settle my debt."
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm if he trusts him."
