ou de personne à personne, sans intermédiaire, ou poison à double dose
From Myrdun:
In the morning we had a lot to do: the master had to repair his glasses, and then we went on the hunt for currency. The master claimed that ethological studies and in particular a precise knowledge of the nature of tabus was indispensable in order to find this money over which the Dragon State watched so jealously. Indeed I was astounded at his erudition for after he had walked haphazardly through bank offices and exchange bureaus and had managed to have several audiences with people who were obviously not interested in the matter, then an official who had already closed his counter abruptly paid us each a sum of Norwegian krone. The whole thing fitted less into the domain of finances than in that of sleepwalking. However since the time I had seen our friend penetrate - always with the same smile - into the enclosure of the nunnery of Via de l‘Oro or go to a lecture in Leipzig in his slippers, this no longer surprised me: he had long been a vigorous examplar against the absolute, unrestrained legal force of the economic world, irrespective of whether he put his last five Mark banknote as a bookmarker into a trashy novel which he then gave back to the library or he went travelling without any money in his pocket but then came back with money; with respect to the tranquility and superiority of the person who has no penny in his pocket I learnt much from him.
From the sleep-walking to the wakefulness:
Yahya related to me from Imam Malik that he had heard that Abdallah bin Mas’oud used to say, ‘Whoever lends someone something should not stipulate that anything extra be paid back – even if so little as a handful of fodder. ‘
وحدثني مالك انه بلغه أن عبد الله بن مسعود كان يقول من أسلف سلفا فلا يشترط أفضل منه وإن كانتقبضة من علف
la morale de l'histoire:
le soporifique est maintenant doublé:
à riba a été ajouté l'intermédiation des gens de bureau
من اقوال ابي حمام الانصاري
غسيل الاموال الحقيقي هوأخذ ارقامك
– من – البنوك الإسلامية
و شراء العقارات والمباني والأشياء الملموسة
وتحويلها إلى أوقاف لله
