15- وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ
مَرَرْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي سُوقِ النُّحَاسِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا النُّحَاسُ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَصْلُهُ فَقَالَ فِضَّةٌ إِلا أَنَّ الأرْضَ أَفْسَدَتْهَا فَمَنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى أَنْ يُخْرِجَ الْفَسَادَ مِنْهَا انْتَفَعَ بِهَا.

‘It is silver but the land spoils it and if one can take away the invalidity, he can benefit from it.’”
