‘This is the contract’ in which the participation of so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so is mentioned. It was written in a state of sound health and mind, and at a time when the transactions were valid. These three have entered into a partnership based on ‘inan’ and not on ‘mufawadah’ partnership, with thirty thousand dirhams, all of which are genuine and excellent, each dirham being equal to the weight of seven mithqals. Each person has ten thousand dirhams, and when all three are combined, the total is thirty thousand dirhams, of which these three are the owners. Each is a partner in one-third share, on the condition that all will work with the fear of Allah and with the intention of fulfilling this trust, and all together will buy whatever they wish from it, whatever they wish to buy in cash, and whatever they wish to buy on credit, and will conduct whatever type of trade they wish. And any one of these three, without the participation of the others, may buy whatever he wishes, in cash or on credit. In this entire amount, the three partners may transact together or each may transact alone; whatever transaction all do together will be binding and effective on all, on the doer and on his two companions, and whatever any one does alone will also be binding on him and his two companions. In short, every transaction, whether small or large, will be effective on all, whether done by one or by all. Then, whatever profit Allah grants will be divided among the three partners in three shares according to the original capital, and whatever loss (deficit) occurs will be borne equally by all, in accordance with one-third of the original capital. Three copies of this same text and wording of this document (agreement) were made, and each partner was given one copy so that he may keep it as a record. Upon this, so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so, that is, all three partners, agreed.
