10- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَزُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الْحِنْطَةُ بِالدَّقِيقِ مِثْلا بِمِثْلٍ وَالسَّوِيقُ بِالسَّوِيقِ مِثْلا بِمِثْلٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ مِثْلا بِمِثْلٍ لا بَأْسَ بِهِ.
10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Jamil from Muhammad ibn Muslim and Zurarah who have said the following: “Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘It is permissible to exchange wheat with flour in equal measures and sawiq (mush) of wheat with mush and barley with wheat in equal measures, is not harmful.’”
