سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْتِينِي بِالْوَرِقِ فَأَشْتَرِيهَا مِنْهُ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ فَأَشْتَغِلُ عَنْ تَعْيِيرِ وَزْنِهَا وَ انْتِقَادِهَا وَ فَضْلِ مَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ فِيهَا فَأُعْطِيهِ الدَّنَانِيرَ وَ أَقُولُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ بَيْعٌ فَإِنِّي قَدْ نَقَضْتُ الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ مِنَ الْبَيْعِ وَ وَرِقُكَ عِنْدِي قَرْضٌ وَ دَنَانِيرِي عِنْدَكَ قَرْضٌ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي مِنَ الْغَدِ وَ أُبَايِعَهُ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ .


Translation

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad in Abdul Jabbar,f rom Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) about the man who came to me with the silver (Dirhams), so I bought these from him with the Dinars. So I got busy from checking its weight, and quibbling about it, and whatever the excess was between me and him therein, so I gave it as Dinars and I said to him, ‘It is not a sale between me and you for I have reversed between me and you from the sale, and the silver (Dirhams) with me is a loan, and the my Dinars with you is a loan, until you come to me tomorrow and I shall sell it to you’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it’.
