Al-Kafi 8370

Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Muhammad Bin Uzafir, from his father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws gave my father one thousand and seven hundred Dinars, so he^asws said to him: ‘Trade with these’. Then he^asws said: ‘There is no real interest for me^asws in its profits, although the profits are desireable in it, but I^asws it that Allah^azwj Majestic and Mighty Sees me^asws working for its benefits’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I made a gain of one hundred Dinars for him in it. Then I met up with him^asws, so I said to him^asws, ‘I have made a gain for you in it, of one hundred Dinars’. So Abu Abdullah^asws was happy with that with an intense happiness, and he^asws said to me: ‘Corroborate it in the capital of my^asws wealth’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So my father dies and the wealth was with him. So Abu Abdullah^asws sent a message to me, writing: ‘May Allah^azwj Grant us^asws and you good health. There is for me^asws with your father Muhammad, one thousand and eight hundred Dinars, I^asws had given him to trade with. So hand it over to Umar Bin Yazeed’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I looked in the book of my father, so there was in it for Abu Musa^asws, with me, a thousand and seven hundred Dinars, and I had profited for him^asws in it by one hundred Dinars which Abdullah Bin Sinan and Umar Bin Yazeed both knew of it’.
