عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي ابْنُ شَدَّادٍ وَأَبُو بُرْدَةَ فَقَالَا انْطَلِقْ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ شَدَّادٍ وَأَبَا بُرْدَةَ يُقْرِئَانِكَ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولَانِ هَلْ كُنْتُمْ تُسْلِفُونَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ قَالَ نَعَمْ كَمَا نُصِيبُ غَنَائِمَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنُسْلِفُهَا فِي الْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ فَقُلْتُ عِنْدَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ زَرْعٌ أَوْ عِنْدَ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ زَرْعٌ فَقَالَ مَا كُنَّا نَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَقَالَا لِي انْطَلِقْ إِلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَاسْأَلْهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ وَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ وَالزَّيْتِ
Mawla of Banu Hashim, Muhammad bin Abi Mujalid, says: Ibn Shaddad and Abu Burdah sent me and said: Go to Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) and say to him that Abdullah bin Shaddad and Abu Burdah send you greetings of peace and ask you whether you people used to do forward sale (bay‘ salam) in wheat, barley, and dried dates during the Prophetic era? He replied: Yes, in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to acquire spoils of war and then do forward sale (bay‘ salam) in wheat, barley, dates, and dried dates. I asked: Did you do this sale with those who owned crops or also with those who did not own crops? He said: We never used to ask about this matter. (When I returned and explained the details to them,) they said: Now go to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abza (may Allah be pleased with him) and ask him about this issue as well. So I went to him, and he also gave the same answer as Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him). Imam Ahmad says that in the narration of Abu Muawiyah, oil (or olive oil) is also mentioned.
