ومن أعطى الصيرفي درهما
Translation: Someone handed a dirham to a money changer.
A sarraf exchanged money and coins. The following case exchanges one dirham for two kinds of consideration: copper fulus and a piece of silver. Because silver is exchanged for silver as one component, the equal-weight rule must be respected.
Changes in wording affect the legal allocation of the payment, so the two examples cannot be conflated.
