كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ مِائَتَيْنِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَجُلٌ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا يَشْتَرِي لَهُ مَتَاعاً أَوْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَسُرِقَ مِنْهُ أَوْ قُطِعَ عَلَيْهِ الطَّرِيقُ مِنْ مَالِ مَنْ ذَهَبَ الْمَتَاعُ مِنْ مَالِ الْآمِرِ أَوْ مِنْ مَالِ الْمَأْمُورِ فَكَتَبَ ( سلام الله عليه ) مِنْ مَالِ الْآمِرِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ja’far Abu Al Abbas Al Kufy, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, altogether from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany who said, ‘I wrote to him<sup>asws</sup>, meaning Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 3<sup>rd</sup>, and I was in Al-Medina in the year two hundred and thirty one: ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! A man instructed a man to buy some goods for him, or other than that. So he bought it but it was stolen from him, or the road was cut-off upon him (by a bandit). From whose assets is this loss, it is from the assets of the one who asked to buy or the one who bought the goods?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘From the wealth of the instructor’.
