[Machine] About Al-Harith al-Ukli, regarding a man who confessed upon his death to having a thousand dirhams as investment and a thousand dirhams as debt, and he did not leave behind anything except a thousand dirhams. He said, "Begin with the debt, for if there is any remaining, it will be an increase for the owner of the investment."
