Hadith 3464
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ كَثِير ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ أَوْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُجَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : " اخْتَلَفَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ ، وَأَبُو بُرْدَةَ ، فِي السَّلَفِ ، فَبَعَثُونِي إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ كُنَّا نُسْلِفُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ،وَعُمَرَ ، فِي الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ " ، زَادَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا ، وَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ أَبْزَي ، فَقَالَ : مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Muhammad or Abdullah bin Mujahid said: Abdullah bin Shaddad and Abu Burdah disputed over salaf (payment in advance). They sent me to Ibn Abi Awfa and I asked him (about it) and he replied: We used to pay in advance (salaf) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr and Umar in wheat, barley, dates and raisins. Ibn Kathir added: "to those people who did not possess these things. " The agreed version then goes: I then asked Ibn Abza who gave a similar reply.
