Translation
S. D. Goitein, handwritten texts.- Ibrāhīm b. Bū l-Faḍl, may his end be good,
- and Bū l-Ḥasan b. Bū l-ʿAlāʾ, may his end be good, both appeared in court.
- The aforementioned Ibrāhīm put down
- three and one-half Egyptian dinars,
- and the aforementioned Bū l-Ḥasan put down one and one-half dinars,
- and the two sums were intermingled. It was acknowledged that
- Abū l-Ḥasan would supplement his contribution until it reached a full three and one-half dinars
- so that the two investments would be of equal value.
- We made the symbolic purchase from them
- in a valid manner, to be in effect immediately, and they prayed for guidance from
- the Creator may He be praised. The two parties will work in
- the craft of goldsmithing, and they will sell (their products).
- Whatever profit they make
- is to be shared between them equally in half.
- Likewise, if they encounter a setback
- in the work in which they will be engaged,
- that too is to be borne between them equally.
