حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ ، وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ أَوْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الْمُجَالِدِ ، قَالَ : اخْتَلَفَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ ، وَأَبُو بُرْدَةَ فِي السَّلَفِ ، فَبَعَثُونِي إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّا كُنَّا نُسْلِفُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ ، وَالشَّعِيرِ ، وَالزَّبِيبِ ، وَالتَّمْرِ " ، وَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ أَبْزَى ، فَقَالَ : مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Narrated Shu`ba: Muhammad or `Abdullah bin Abu Al-Mujalid said, "Abdullah bin Shaddad and Abu Burda differed regarding As-Salam, so they sent me to Ibn Abi `Aufa and I asked him about it. He replied, 'In the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, Abu Bakr and `Umar, we used to pay in advance the prices of wheat, barley, dried grapes and dates to be delivered later. I also asked Ibn Abza and he, too, replied as above.' "

Hadith Commentary: Hafiz states:
➊ There is consensus that if, in a salam sale, the commodity is something that is measured by volume or weight, then it is necessary to specify the known measure or known weight. And if it is something that is neither measured by volume nor by weight, then it is necessary to specify the known number.
That is, there is consensus on the matter that in a salam sale, for those items that are measured or weighed, it is necessary to fix their measure or weight, and for those items that are only counted, it is necessary to fix their number.
From the aforementioned hadith, it is understood that this type of transaction was commonly practiced in Madinah.
In reality, farmers and craftsmen need advance capital, and if they do not have it, they cannot do anything.
In the chain of narration, the name of Waki‘ ibn Jarrah appears.
Many ahadith are narrated from him.
He was a resident of Kufa.
According to some, his origin is from a village in Nishapur.
He heard hadith from teachers of hadith such as Hisham ibn ‘Urwah, Awza‘i, Thawri, and others.
Among his students are prominent figures such as ‘Abdullah ibn Mubarak, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Ma‘in, and ‘Ali ibn Madini.
He settled in Baghdad and established a circle for teaching hadith.
His opinion in the science of hadith was considered reliable.
‘Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa radi Allahu anhu was a Companion.
He participated in Hudaybiyyah, Khaybar, and all subsequent battles.
And he always resided in Madinah.
Until the event of the passing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam occurred.
After that, he went to Kufa.
He passed away in Kufa in 87 AH.
He was the last Companion of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to pass away in Kufa.
Imam Sha‘bi and others narrated from him.
Imam Sha‘bi, ‘Amir ibn Shurahbil al-Kufi, was among the well-known and prominent scholars.
He was born during the caliphate of ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu.
He narrates from many Companions.
He saw five hundred Companions radi Allahu anhum.
He had such a God-given ability to memorize hadith that he never wrote down a single word on paper.
Whatever hadith he heard, he preserved it in his memory.
Imam Zuhri used to say that in the present era, only four true scholars have been seen:
That is, Ibn al-Musayyib in Madinah, Sha‘bi in Kufa, Hasan in Basra, and Mak‘hul in Sham.
He passed away at the age of 82 in 104 AH.
Rahimahullah rahmatan wasi‘ah.
Amin.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has written that there is consensus (ijma‘) of the Ummah on the matter that in a forward sale (bay‘ salam), for those items that are measurable or weighable, it is necessary to specify the measure or weight, and for those items that are determined solely by number, it is necessary to specify the number. Furthermore, it is also necessary to mention the characteristics (awsaf) so that the item can be distinguished from others and to prevent any future dispute.
(Fath al-Bari: 4/543)
(2)
In reality, craftsmen and farmers are in need of advance capital; if such a transaction were not permissible, they would not be able to conduct their business.
(3)
It is also understood from this hadith that this type of transaction was very common in Madinah Tayyibah.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reformed it and allowed it to continue.
