قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا نَشْتَرِي الْعِدْلَ فِيهِ مِائَةُ ثَوْبٍ خِيَارٍ وَ شِرَارٍ دَسْتْشُمَارَ فَيَجِيئُنَا الرَّجُلُ فَيَأْخُذُ مِنَ الْعِدْلِ تِسْعِينَ ثَوْباً بِرِبْحِ دِرْهَمٍ دِرْهَمٍ فَيَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ الْبَاقِيَ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا بِعْنَا فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ الثَّوْبَ وَحْدَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat Bin Salim who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘We buy the bag in which are one hundred clothes, good and bad mixed (Persian), so the man comes to us and takes ninety clothes from a bad with a profit of one Dirham, one Dirham. So is it befitting for us that we sell the remainder upon similar to what we sold?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, except if he alone buys the clothes’.
