قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَشْتَرِي الْغَنَمَ أَوْ يَشْتَرِي الْغَنَمَ جَمَاعَةٌ ثُمَّ تُدْخَلُ دَاراً ثُمَّ يَقُومُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَيَعُدُّ وَاحِداً وَ اثْنَيْنِ وَ ثَلَاثَةً وَ أَرْبَعَةً وَ خَمْسَةً ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُ السَّهْمَ قَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ هَذَا إِنَّمَا يَصْلُحُ السِّهَامُ إِذَا عُدِلَتِ الْقِسْمَةُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umer, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, from Minhal Al Qassab who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I buy the sheep, or a group buys the sheep, then they enter a house, then a man stands upon the door, so he number one, and two, and three, and four, and five, then he specifies it as one share’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is not correct. But rather shares are correct only when distribution is just’.
