291. The Profit of A Believer From Another

956.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : رِبْحُ المؤمنِ على‏ المؤمنِ رِبا ، إلّاأنْ يَشْتريَ بأكْثَرَ مِن مائةِ دِرْهَمٍ فاربَحْ علَيهِ قُوتَ يَومِكَ ، أو يَشْتَرِيَهُ للتِّجارةِ فارْبَحُوا علَيهِم وارْفُقوا بهِم .¹

956.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'The profit of a believer from another is usury, unless he buys with more than one hundred dirhams, whereupon you can profit as much as your day's sustenance; or if he buys it for trading, then you can profit, but be moderate with them.' ²

957.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - وقد سُئلَ عنِ الخَبَرِ الّذي رُويَ‏أنّ رِبْحَ المؤمنِ على‏ المؤمنِ رِبا ، ما هُو ؟ - : ذاكَ إذا ظَهرَ الحقُّ وقامَ قائمُنا أهلَ البيتِ ، فأمّا اليومَ فلا بأسَ .³

957. Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when he was asked about the statement: 'The profit of a believer from another is usury', replied, 'That is when equity prevails, and our Qa?im [i.e. the Mahdi] appears; but for now, it does not matter.' ⁴
