Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Bin Safwan, from Ayoub Bin Rashid, from Muysar Baya’a Al Zaty who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘We buy the goods with a respite (on credit), so the man comes over and is saying, ‘With how much are you pricing for?’ So I am saying, ‘With such and such’. So I sell it with a profit’. So he^asws said: ‘When you are selling it with a (capital plus) profit, for him would be from the credit similar to what is for you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I exclaimed Istirja’at (We are from Allah^saww and to Him^saww are we returning!). So he^asws said: ‘For what (reason are you saying it)?’ So I said, ‘Because there is no cloth in the land except that I have sold it as such and has been bought from me, and even if I reduced from the capital of the wealth until I am saying, ‘With such and such (a price)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So when he^asws saw my difficulties, he^asws said: ‘Shall I^asws open a door for you for there to be a relief for you? Say, ‘It has stood upon me (cost) with such and such, and I sell it to you with such and such an increase’, and do not say ‘with a (capital plus) profit’.
