كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَإِذَا دَنَانِيرُ مَصْبُوبَةٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى دِينَارٍ فَأَخَذَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَطَعَهُ بِنِصْفَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي أَلْقِهِ فِي الْبَالُوعَةِ حَتَّى لَا يُبَاعَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِيهِ غِشٌّ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from one of our companions, from Sajada, from Musa Bin Bakr who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, and there were some Dinars in front of him<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> looked at a Dinar, took it in his<sup>asws</sup> hand, then broke it into two halves, then said to me: ‘Throw it in the sewer until something in which is cheating would not be sold (again)’.
