23- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ الْعَقَرْقُوفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ بَيْعِ السَّيْفِ الْمُحَلَّى بِالنَّقْدِ فَقَالَ لا بَأْسَ بِهِ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ بَيْعِهِ بِالنَّسِيئَةِ فَقَالَ إِذَا نَقَدَ مِثْلَ مَا فِي فِضَّتِهِ فَلا بَأْسَ بِهِ أَوْ لَيُعْطِي الطَّعَامَ.
23. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqarqufiy from abu Basir who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about selling the sword decorated with cash (gold or silver). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’ I then asked about selling on credit. He (the Imam) said, ‘If what is sold for cash is like what it is for its silver, then is not unlawful; or give foodstuff.’”
