Hadith 3463
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنِ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهُمْ يُسْلِفُونَ فِي التَّمْرِ السَّنَةَ وَالسَّنَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ أَسْلَفَ فِي تَمْرٍ ، فَلْيُسْلِفْ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ ، وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ ، إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ " .
Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madina, they were paying one, two and three years in advance for fruits, so he said: Those who pay in advance for anything, must do for a specified measure and weight with a specified time fixed.
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.
Hadith 3465
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، وَابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَن ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : عِنْدَ قَوْمٍ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَهُمْ ؟ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : الصَّوَابُ ابْنُ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ ، وَشُعْبَةُ أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn Abi al-Mujahid through a different chain of narrators. This version has: "to those people who did not possess these things. " Abu Dawud said: What is correct is Ibn Abi al-Mujahid. Shubah made a mistake in it.
Hadith 3466
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : " غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّامَ ، فَكَانَ يَأْتِينَا أَنْبَاطٌ مِنْ أَنْبَاطِ الشَّامِ ، فَنُسْلِفُهُمْ فِي الْبُرِّ وَالزَّيْتِ سِعْرًا مَعْلُومًا وَأَجَلًا مَعْلُومًا ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : مِمَّنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : مَا كُنَّا نَسْأَلُهُمْ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa ibn Abu Awfa al-Aslami: We made a journey to Syria on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Nabateans of Syria came to us and we paid in advance to them (in a salam contract) in wheat and olive oil at a specified rate and for a specified time. He asked (by the people): you might have contracted with him who had these things in his possession? He replied: We did not ask them.
