سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ السُّيُوفِ الْمُحَلَّاةِ فِيهَا الْفِضَّةُ تُبَاعُ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَخْتَلِفُوا فِي النَّسَاءِ أَنَّهُ الرِّبَا إِنَّمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْيَدِ بِالْيَدِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَيَبِيعُهُ بِدَرَاهِمَ بِنَقْدٍ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ عَرْضٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِذَا كَانَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ الَّتِي تُعْطَى أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا فَقَالَ وَ كَيْفَ لَهُمْ بِالِاحْتِيَاطِ بِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانُوا يَعْرِفُونَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ إِلَّا فَإِنَّهُمْ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَهُ الْعَرْضَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Safwan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the ornamented swords wherein is the silver, can it be sold with the gold to a specified term?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people are not differing regarding the credit that it is the usury. But rather, they are differing regarding the hand to hand (transaction)’. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So can it be sold with the Dirhams in cash?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘If there was something along with it, it would be more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup>’. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘When the Dirhams which are given are more than the silver which is therein?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And how would be the precaution for them with that?’ I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘But they are claiming that they are recognising that’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If they were recognising that, so there is no problem, or else if they were making something else to be along with it, it would be more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup>’.
