John Shaqi

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَصْوَافَ مِائَةِ نَعْجَةٍ وَ مَا فِي بُطُونِهَا مِنْ حَمْلٍ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا دِرْهَماً قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي بُطُونِهَا حَمْلٌ كَانَ رَأْسُ مَالِهِ فِي الصُّوفِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibrahim Al Karkhy who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding a man who buys the wool of one hundred sheep and whatever is in their bellies from the pregnancies with such and such Dirhams?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with that if there does not happen to be pregnancies in their bellies, the capital of his wealth would be in regarding the wool’.
