سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَشْتَرِي مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الدَّرَاهِمَ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ فَيَزِنُهَا وَ يَنْقُدُهَا وَ يَحْسُبُ ثَمَنَهَا كَمْ هُوَ دِينَاراً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَرْسِلْ غُلَامَكَ مَعِي حَتَّى أُعْطِيَهُ الدَّنَانِيرَ فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهُ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ الدَّنَانِيرَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ فِي دَارٍ وَحْدَهُ وَ أَمْكِنَتُهُمْ قَرِيبَةٌ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ هَذَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ وَزْنِهَا وَ إِنْقَادِهَا فَلْيَأْمُرِ الْغُلَامَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُبَايِعُهُ وَ يَدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْوَرِقَ وَ يَقْبِضُ مِنْهُ الدَّنَانِيرَ حَيْثُ يَدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْوَرِقَ .


Translation

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan altogether, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul lRahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who bought the Dirhams from the man with the Dinars. So he weighed them, and cashed them, and counted its price how many Dinars it was. Then he said, ‘Send your slave with me until I give him the Dinars’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not like it that he separates until he takes the Dinars’. So I said, ‘But rather, it is in one house, and it is possible nearby to each other, and this is grievous upon them’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When they are free from weighing it and cashing it, so let him instruct the slave who is sent that he is the one who would become the one selling it, and he would hand over the silver and take possession of the Dinars from him when he hand the silver over to him’.
