They differ about the deal of hand in hand.’ I then asked, ‘Can he buy it with dirhams in cash?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘My father would say, “I like it to be along with something.’” I then asked, ‘What happens if dirhams given are more than the silver in it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘How can they maintain precaution in it?’ I said that they think they know it. He (the Imam) said, ‘If they know it then it is not unlawful, otherwise, if they include something else along with it, is more desirable to me.”’
