2. […] and an agreement also took place between us, that we would live (together) in a single dwelling, and that we would eat from a single table
3. for the duration of this partnership (shirka), and we would take from the shop everything we need for support of the household in terms of food and drink.
4. Beyond this, each of us would be entitled to a dirham each day, which he could spend however he might want and he might choose for his necessities. If

7. exalted God facilitated for the two of them therein beyond the aforementioned support food and as for difficulties with provisions and rent and
8. other difficulties that may befall them, they will share that equally. If either of them pursues a change in the profit of the partnership (shirka),
