قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَشْتَرِي الطَّعَامَ فَأَضَعُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ أَرْبَحُ فِي آخِرِهِ فَأَسْأَلُ صَاحِبِي أَنْ يَحُطَّ عَنِّي فِي كُلِّ كُرٍّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ وَ لَكِنْ يَحُطُّ عَنْكَ جُمْلَةً قُلْتُ فَإِنْ حَطَّ عَنِّي أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا وَضِعْتُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ قُلْتُ فَأُخْرِجُ الْكُرَّ وَ الْكُرَّيْنِ فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ أَعْطِنِيهِ بِكَيْلِكَ فَقَالَ إِذَا ائْتَمَنَكَ فَلَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from Abu Al Utarad who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I buy some foodstuff, so I lose in the beginning of it and I profit in the end of it. So I ask my companions that he drops (the price) from me with each Kurra (a unit of measurement) by such and such (an amount)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This, there is no goodness in it, but he should drop from you from the whole’. I said, ‘Supposing if he drop from the more that what I have lost?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it’. I said, ‘So if I were to extract one Kurra and two Kurras (units of measurement), so the man is saying, ‘I give it by your measurement’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he trusts you, so there is no problem with it’.
