LessonsKitab al-Buyu: Grain in Ears, House Keys, Transaction Costs and DeliveryQuiz

وَأُجْرَةُ الْكَيَّالِ وَنَاقِدِ الثَّمَنِ عَلَى الْبَائِعِ
Translation: The wages of the measurer and of the money examiner are borne by the seller.

Kayyal is a person measuring the sold goods; naqid al-thaman examines coinage or the quality of payment.

If goods were sold by measurement, measurement is part of the seller's duty to make proper delivery. Commentaries report variant transmissions about the coin examiner's fee; keep Quduri's stated position distinct from later juristic preferences.
