Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Shu’ayb al-‘Aqarqufiy from abu Basir who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about selling the sword decorated with cash (gold or silver). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’ I then asked about selling on credit.

He (the Imam) said, ‘If what is sold for cash is like what it is for its silver, then is not unlawful; or give foodstuff.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (9/312))
