رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى طَعَاماً كُلَّ كُرٍّ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَارْتَفَعَ الطَّعَامُ أَوْ نَقَصَ وَ قَدِ اكْتَالَ بَعْضَهُ فَأَبَى صَاحِبُ الطَّعَامِ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ لَهُ مَا بَقِيَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا لَكَ مَا قَبَضْتَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ يَوْمَ اشْتَرَاهُ سَاعَرَهُ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَهُ فَلَهُ مَا بَقِيَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَاهُ وَ لَمْ يَشْتَرِطْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِقَدْرِ مَا نَقَدَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who bought some foodstuff, each Kurra (a unit of measurement) with a known thing. So the foodstuff (price) was raised or reduced, and some of it had been measure out. So the owner of the foodstuff refused to submit to him what remained (for the old price), and said, ‘But rather, for you is what you captured (took possession of)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was on the day he bought for his price, upon (a stipulation) that it (same price) would be for him, so for him would be what remained (at the same price); and if it was such that he had bought it and did not stipulate that, so for him would be in accordance with what he settled in cash’.
