Hadith.3716 - Yunus ibn Abdul Rahman wrote to Al-Ridha (as), saying: "I had ten dirhams owed to me by a man, but the ruler invalidated those dirhams and introduced new dirhams that are higher in value than the previous ones. The earlier dirhams are now devalued. What is my right upon him-the original dirhams that the ruler invalidated or the new dirhams approved by the ruler?"
Imam (as) wrote in response: "You have the right to the original dirhams."
3716 - وَ كَتَبَ يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ إِلَى اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَشَرَةُ دَرَاهِمَ وَ إِنَّ اَلسُّلْطَانَ أَسْقَطَ تِلْكَ اَلدَّرَاهِمَ وَ جَاءَ بِدَرَاهِمَ أَعْلَى مِنْ تِلْكَ اَلدَّرَاهِمِ وَ فِي تِلْكَ اَلدَّرَاهِمِ اَلْأُولَى اَلْيَوْمَ وَضِيعَةٌ فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ لِي عَلَيْهِ اَلدَّرَاهِمُ اَلْأُولَى اَلَّتِي أَسْقَطَهَا اَلسُّلْطَانُ أَوِ اَلدَّرَاهِمُ اَلَّتِي أَجَازَهَا اَلسُّلْطَانُ فَكَتَبَ "لَكَ اَلدَّرَاهِمُ اَلْأُولَى".
