7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan from Ayyub ibn Rashid from Muyassir Bayya’ al- Zuttiy who has said the following
“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I buy goods with deferred payment for a certain time. A man comes to me and says, ‘What is the price.’ I say, ‘It is so and so amount.’ I then sell it to him with a certain amount of profit. He (the Imam) said, ‘When you sell it in the form of Murabahah (capital plus profit) he has a share in the value of deferred payment also just as you have.’ I then said Istirja‘ (the expression, ‘To Allah we belong and to Him we all return’) and said, ‘We are destroyed.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Because of what?’ I replied, ‘There is no cloth on earth that I buy without Murabahah (capital plus profit) and they are bought from me even if I reduce the capital to say it is for so and so amount. When he (the Imam) saw my difficulties he (the Imam) said, ‘Do you want that I open a door for you to make things easier for you? Say, “It has costed me so and so and I sell it for so and so price;” do not say I sell it in the form of Murabahah (capital plus profit).”’
7- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ بَيَّاعِ الزُّطِّيِّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنَّا نَشْتَرِي الْمَتَاعَ بِنَظِرَةٍ فَيَجِي‏ءُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ بِكَمْ تَقَوَّمَ عَلَيْكَ فَأَقُولُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَبِيعُهُ بِرِبْحٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا بِعْتَهُ مُرَابَحَةً كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ النَّظِرَةِ مِثْلُ مَا لَكَ قَالَ فَاسْتَرْجَعْتُ وَقُلْتُ هَلَكْنَا فَقَالَ مِمَّ فَقُلْتُ لأنَّ مَا فِي الأرْضِ ثَوْبٌ إِلا أَبِيعُهُ مُرَابَحَةً يُشْتَرَى مِنِّي وَلَوْ وُضِعْتُ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْمَالِ حَتَّى أَقُولَ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا شَقَّ عَلَيَّ قَالَ أَفَلا أَفْتَحُ لَكَ بَاباً يَكُونُ لَكَ فِيهِ فَرَجٌ قُلْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَأَبِيعُكَ بِزِيَادَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلا تَقُلْ بِرِبْحٍ.
