سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَبِيعُ الرَّجُلَ الطَّعَامَ الْأَكْرَارَ فَلَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُتِمُّ لَهُ مَا بَاعَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ خُذْ مِنِّي مَكَانَ كُلِّ قَفِيزِ حِنْطَةٍ قَفِيزَيْنِ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ مَا نَقَصَ مِنَ الْكَيْلِ قَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ لِأَنَّ أَصْلَ الشَّعِيرِ مِنَ الْحِنْطَةِ وَ لَكِنْ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ الدَّرَاهِمَ بِحِسَابِ مَا نَقَصَ مِنَ الْكَيْلِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the man who sells some Kurras (a unit of measurement) of foodstuff to the man, but there did not happen to be with him what he can complete (the order) for him of what he had sold. So he said, ‘Take from me in place of each Qafees (a unit of measurement) of wheat, two Qafeez of barley until it is fulfilled, whatever was deficient from the measurement. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, it is not correct, because the origin of the barley is from the wheat, but he should return the Dirhams back to him by an accounting of whatever was deficient from the measurement’.
