6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله النَّسَائِيِّ قَالَ أَوْصَلْتُ أَشْيَاءَ لِلْمَرْزُبَانِيِّ الْحَارِثِيِّ فِيهَا سِوَارُ ذَهَبٍ فَقُبِلَتْ وَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ السِّوَارُ فَأُمِرْتُ بِكَسْرِهِ فَكَسَرْتُهُ فَإِذَا فِي وَسَطِهِ مَثَاقِيلُ حَدِيدٍ وَنُحَاسٍ أَوْ صُفْرٍ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُ وَأَنْفَذْتُ الذَّهَبَ فَقُبِلَ.
6. Muhammad ibn abu ‘Abdallah has narrated from abu ‘Abdallah al-Nisa’iy who has said the following. “I delivered certain items from al-Marzabani al-Harithi to the holy location. One item was a gold bracelet. Other items were accepted but the bracelet was returned. I was ordered to break it. When I did so inside there were certain amounts of iron, brass and zinc. I took them out and sent the gold back. It was accepted.”
