فِي الرَّجُلِ يُبْضِعُهُ الرَّجُلُ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَماً فِي ثَوْبٍ وَ آخَرُ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً فِي ثَوْبٍ فَبَعَثَ بِالثَّوْبَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ هَذَا ثَوْبَهُ وَ لَا هَذَا ثَوْبَهُ قَالَ يُبَاعُ الثَّوْبَانِ فَيُعْطَى صَاحِبُ الثَّلَاثِينَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَخْمَاسٍ الثَّمَنِ وَ الْآخَرُ خُمُسَيِ الثَّمَنِ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْعِشْرِينَ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِ الثَّلَاثِينَ اخْتَرْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ قَالَ قَدْ أَنْصَفَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Musa Bin Sa’dan, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’la, from Is’haq, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said regarding the man who merged a thirty Dirham piece of cloth, with another man with twenty Dirhams piece of cloth. So the two parcels were sent, and it was not recognised whether this was his cloth, or this was not his cloth. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So the two pieces of cloth would be sold, so the owner of the thirty would be given three-fifths of the price, and the other one would be given two-fifths of the price’. I said, ‘So if the owner of the twenty said to the owner of the thirty, ‘Choose whichever of the two you so desire to?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He has been fair’.
