Summary
Malik says: as for a man who gives goods and is told: sell them, and you get such-and-such for each dinar, for an amount he names, that is not proper. Every dinar the price of the goods falls by reduces the share he was promised. This is uncertainty, because it is not known how much was set for him. 1
