لَا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَبِيعَ بِصَاعٍ سِوَى صَاعِ أَهْلِ الْمِصْرِ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَسْتَأْجِرُ الْجَمَّالَ فَيَكِيلُ لَهُ بِمُدِّ بَيْتِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَكُونُ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ مُدِّ السُّوقِ وَ لَوْ قَالَ هَذَا أَصْغَرُ مِنْ مُدِّ السُّوقِ لَمْ يَأْخُذْ بِهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ ذَلِكَ وَ يَجْعَلُ فِي أَمَانَتِهِ وَ قَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا مُدٌّ وَاحِدٌ وَ الْأَمْنَاءُ بِهَذِهِ الْمَنْزِلَةِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, from Aban, from Muhammad Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is not Permissible for the man that he sells with a Sa’a (a unit of measurement of four handfuls) besides a Sa’a of the people of the city. So if the man were to employ the camel rider, and he measures out a Mudd (a unit of measurement of one handful) for him, with a Mudd of his house, perhaps it would happen to be smaller than a Mudd of the marketplace; and if he were to say that this Mudd is smaller than a Mudd of the marketplace, he would not be seized by it, but he would bear that and it would be made to be in his honesty’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not correct except for one Mudd, and the trustees are with this status’.
