3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn Maymun al-Sahgh (jeweler) who has said the following
“Upon my asking abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a goldsmith work in which there is engraving and I stipulate with an engraver; but when it is time to finalize our account, I ask him to reduce from what was stipulated. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Is it without compulsion on his part?’ I replied, ‘Yes, it is without compulsion.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”
