فِي رَجُلَيْنِ كَانَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا طَعَامٌ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِهِ وَ لَا يَدْرِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا كَمْ لَهُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ لَكَ مَا عِنْدَكَ وَ لِي مَا عِنْدِي قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِذَا تَرَاضَيَا وَ طَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمَا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) having said regarding two men, for each of the two being some foodstuff with his companions, and each of the two does not know how much it is for him with his companion’. So each one of the two says to his companion, ‘For you is whatever is with you, and for me is whatever is with me’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with that when they are both pleased, and both agree (among) themselves’.
