Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Muyassir who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who gave one thousand dirham to another man for Mudarabah (profit sharing) and he bought his father without knowing.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He is appraised, even if a single dirham remains extra (as profit), he is free while it has spread into the assets of the man.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (9/294))
