- Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Yazīd narrated to us; he said: My father narrated: Whenever ʿAmr ibn Qays sold a piece of cloth—meaning a cut length—he would say, “I absolve myself of responsibility for any irregularity of the weft in the warp, of the warp in the weft, and for whatever faults the weaver or the knots may have caused.”
١٦٧ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ إِذَا بَاعَ الثَّوْبَ - يَعْنِي الْمَقْطُوعَ - قَالَ: «أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْعَرْضِ فِي الطُّولِ وَمِنَ الطُّولِ فِي الْعَرْضِ، وَمَا أَفْسَدَ الْحَائِكُ وَالْعُقَدِ»
