سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَزْرَعُ لَهُ الْحَرَّاثُ الزَّعْفَرَانَ وَ يَضْمَنُ لَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ فِي كُلِّ جَرِيبِ أَرْضٍ يُمْسَحُ عَلَيْهِ وَزْنَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا دِرْهَماً فَرُبَّمَا نَقَصَ وَ غَرِمَ وَ رُبَّمَا اسْتَفْضَلَ وَ زَادَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِذَا تَرَاضَيَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sahl, from his father who said, ‘I asked Abu Al Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> about the man for whom the farmers cultivate the Saffron farm and guarantee for him that they would give him regarding every <span class="iTxt">Jareyb</span> (unit of measurement) of land which has been touched upon, a weight of such and such Dirhams. So sometimes it is deficient and he loses, and sometimes it is excess, and increases. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it when they are both pleased (with the arrangement).
