[Machine] "To send it to the Commander of the Faithful so that you both invest it in merchandise from Iraq, then sell it in the city, and deliver the capital to the Commander of the Faithful, and you both will make a profit." So they said, "We wish to do so." So he wrote to Umar to take money from both of them. When they arrived in the city, they sold and made a profit. When they reported this to Umar, he said, "Did the army lend them money as they lent you?" They said, "No." Umar said, "The sons of the Commander of the Faithful have lent you the money and its profit. As for Abdullah, he accepted it and as for Ubaidullah, he said, 'It is not appropriate for you, O Commander of the Faithful, if the money were to be lost or diminished, we would be responsible for it.' He ordered them to hand it over, so Abdullah remained silent, and Ubaidullah went back to Omar and a man from the companions of Umar bin Al-Khattab said, 'O Commander of the faithful, if you made it a loan.' He said, 'I have made it a loan.' So Umar took the money and half of its profit, and Abdullah and Ubaidullah took half of the profit. The meaning of their conversation is the same, except that Al-Shafi'i said in his narration, 'When they closed the transaction, they passed by a worker for Umar.'"
