سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ دَنَانِيرُ لِبَعْضِ خُلَطَائِهِ فَيَأْخُذُ مَكَانَهَا وَرِقاً فِي حَوَائِجِهِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمَ قُبِضَتْ سَبْعَةٌ وَ سَبْعَةٌ وَ نِصْفٌ بِدِينَارٍ وَ قَدْ يَطْلُبُ صَاحِبُ الْمَالِ بَعْضَ الْوَرِقِ وَ لَيْسَتْ بِحَاضِرَةٍ فَيَبْتَاعَهَا لَهُ مِنَ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ بِهَذَا السِّعْرِ وَ نَحْوِهِ ثُمَّ يَتَغَيَّرُ السِّعْرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْتَسِبَا حَتَّى صَارَتِ الْوَرِقُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ دِرْهَماً بِدِينَارٍ فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بِالسِّعْرِ الْأَوَّلِ حِينَ قَبَضَ كَانَتْ سَبْعَةٌ وَ سَبْعَةٌ وَ نِصْفٌ بِدِينَارٍ قَالَ إِذَا دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَرِقَ بِقَدْرِ الدَّنَانِيرِ فَلَا يَضُرُّهُ كَيْفَ الصُّرُوفُ وَ لَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdul Malik Bin Utba Al hashimy who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> about a man who happened to have Dinars with him for one of his associates. So he took paper (silver Dirhams) in place of it regarding his needs, and it (the exchange rate) on the day he took possession of it was seven and seven and a half for one Dinar, and the owner of the wealth had sought some of the silver (Dirhams) and it was not present, so he gave it to him from a money-changer with this price, and near to it. Then the price (rate) changed before he accounted until the silver (Dirhams) came to be twelve Dirhams for a Dinar. So, is that correct for him, and rather it is with the former price when he took possession of it of a seven and seven and a half for a Dinar?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the silver (Dirhams) were handed over to him in accordance with the Dinars, so it does not harm him how it was changed, and there is no problem’.
