وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُخْتَارِ اَلْقَلاَنِسِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّا نَعْمَلُ اَلْقَلاَنِسَ فَنَجْعَلُ فِيهَا اَلْقُطْنَ اَلْعَتِيقَ فَنَبِيعُهَا وَ لاَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمْ مَا فِيهَا فَقَالَ "إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ لَكَ أَنْ تُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَا فِيهَا".
Al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar al-Qalanisi narrated: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, 'We make caps and place old cotton inside them, then sell them without informing the buyers of what is inside.' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'I would prefer that you inform them about what is inside.'
