سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لِي عَلَيْهِ الْمَالُ فَيَقْضِي بَعْضاً دَنَانِيرَ وَ بَعْضاً دَرَاهِمَ فَإِذَا جَاءَ يُحَاسِبُنِي لِيُوَفِّيَنِي كَمَا يَكُونُ قَدْ تَغَيَّرَ سِعْرُ الدَّنَانِيرِ أَيَّ السِّعْرَيْنِ أَحْسُبُ لَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَوْمَ أَعْطَانِي الدَّنَانِيرَ أَوْ سِعْرَ يَوْمِيَ الَّذِي أُحَاسِبُهُ قَالَ سِعْرَ يَوْمَ أَعْطَاكَ الدَّنَانِيرَ لِأَنَّكَ حَبَسْتَ مَنْفَعَتَهَا عَنْهُ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Ibrahim<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happens to have the goods for me (as a debt) upon him, so he paid some as Dinars and some as Dirhams. So when he came to account with me in order to fulfill to me as it used to be, for the rate of the Dinars had changed, i.e. both the rates. Shall I account for him (the rate) which was on the day he gave me the Dinars, or the rate on the day which he came to (finalise his) account with me?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The rate on the day he gave you the Dinars, because you locked its profits from it’.
