قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّجُلُ يَجِيئُنِي بِالْوَرِقِ يَبِيعُنِيهَا يُرِيدُ بِهَا وَرِقاً عِنْدِي فَهُوَ الْيَقِينُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُرِيدُ الدَّنَانِيرَ لَيْسَ يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْوَرِقَ وَ لَا يَقُومُ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ وَرِقِي فَأَشْتَرِي مِنْهُ الدَّرَاهِمَ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ فَلَا يَكُونُ دَنَانِيرُهُ عِنْدِي كَامِلَةً فَأَسْتَقْرِضُ لَهُ مِنْ جَارِي فَأُعْطِيهِ كَمَالَ دَنَانِيرِهِ وَ لَعَلِّي لَا أُحْرِزُ وَزْنَهَا فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ يَأْخُذُ وَفَاءَ الَّذِي لَهُ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ .


Translation

Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The man came to me with the silver (Dirhams) to sell to me wanting by it the silver (Dirhams) which I had on me. So it is certain that he did not want the Dinars, not wanting except for the silver (Dirhams), and he did not arise (to leave) until he took my silver (Dirhams). So I bought the Dirhams for him with the Dinars, and his dinars were not with me completely, and I borrowed from him from my neighbour, and I gave it to him to complete his Dinars and maybe I did not achieve its weight’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Is it not that he took the total of that which was for him?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it’.
