Primary text

If the item is sold precisely at the agreed-upon price with no surplus, the agent receives nothing, as his entitlement was explicitly contingent upon the surplus, and in this case, there is no surplus. This scenario is likened to a *mudarib* (manager in a partnership) who earns no profit.
