سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ شِرَاءِ الذَّهَبِ فِيهِ الْفِضَّةُ وَ الزِّيْبَقُ وَ التُّرَابُ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ وَ الْوَرِقِ فَقَالَ لَا تُصَارِفْهُ إِلَّا بِالْوَرِقِ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شِرَاءِ الْفِضَّةِ فِيهَا الرَّصَاصُ وَ الْوَرِقُ إِذَا خَلَصَتْ نَقَصَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ دِرْهَمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً قَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا بِالذَّهَبِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Al Mugheira, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about buying the gold wherein is the silver, and the mercury and the dirt, with the Dinars and the silver (Dirhams)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not exchange it except with the silver (Dirhams)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about buying the silver wherein is the lead, and the silver when it is pure being two or three Dirhams deficient from every ten Dirhams. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not correct except with the gold’.
