Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "I have bought such-and-such, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wants to go to the Commander of the Believers, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and have a financial restriction placed (on me)." Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am your partner in the sale." Then he went to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him this, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How can I place a financial restriction on a man whose partner is al-Zubayr?" Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) requested the restriction because his position was that a restriction can be placed on an adult; and if a restriction on an adult were not permissible, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) would have said that no restriction can be placed on a free adult; and likewise Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). The position of all of them was that a restriction can be placed on an adult.
