Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws, said, ‘I asked him^asws about the man who hands over foodstuff to the miller, so he stipulates that he could give its owner twelve ratls (a unit of measurement) for every ten (given to him). He^asws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘So (what about) the man who hands over the sesame (seeds) to the oiler who guarantees for him one ratl (oil) for every Sa’a (a unit of measurement) of sesame (seeds)?’ He^asws said: ‘No’.
