23ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَاذَانَ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ قَالَ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدِي خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ تَنْقُصُ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً فَأَنِفْتُ أَنْ أَبْعَثَ بِخَمْسِمِائَةٍ تَنْقُصُ عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً فَوَزَنْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِي عِشْرِينَ دِرْهَماً وَبَعَثْتُهَا إِلَى الاسَدِيِّ وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ مَا لِي فِيهَا فَوَرَدَ وَصَلَتْ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ لَكَ مِنْهَا عِشْرُونَ دِرْهَماً.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

23. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Shadhan al-Naysaburi who has said the following. “Five hundred Dirhams less twenty was collected with me. I decided to sent them but I did not like to send five hundred less twenty. I then added twenty Dirhams to it from my own money and sent them to al-Asadi without any mention of what was therein. The message that came to me said, “Five hundred Dirhams of which twenty were yours have reached (us).”
