قُدِّمَ لِأَبِي ( عليه السلام ) مَتَاعٌ مِنْ مِصْرٍ فَصَنَعَ طَعَاماً وَ دَعَا لَهُ التُّجَّارَ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا نَأْخُذُهُ مِنْكَ بِدَهْ دَوَازْدَهْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبِي وَ كَمْ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ قَالُوا فِي عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ أَلْفَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبِي إِنِّي أَبِيعُكُمْ هَذَا الْمَتَاعَ بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً فَبَاعَهُمْ مُسَاوَمَةً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There came to my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> some goods from Egypt, so he<sup>asws</sup> had some food prepared and invited the merchants to it. So they said, ‘We take it from you<sup>asws</sup> with ten, twelve (in Persian)’. So my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> said to them: ‘And how much does that happen to be?’ They said, ‘Regarding every ten thousand, two thousand’. So my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> said to them: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> hereby sell these goods to you for twelve thousand’. So he<sup>asws</sup> sold it to them, (with) a compromise’.
