حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مُجَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : أَرْسَلَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ ، إِلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، فَسَأَلْتُهُمَا عَنِ السَّلَفِ ؟ فَقَالَا : كُنَّا نُصِيبُ الْمَغَانِمَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكَانَ يَأْتِينَا أَنْبَاطٌ مِنْ أَنْبَاطِ الشَّأْمِ ، فَنُسْلِفُهُمْ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ ، وَالشَّعِيرِ ، وَالزَّبِيبِ ، إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمَّى ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَكَانَ لَهُمْ زَرْعٌ ، أَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ زَرْعٌ ؟ قَالَا : مَا كُنَّا نَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ .
Narrated Muhammad bin Abi Al-Mujalid: Abu Burda and `Abdullah bin Shaddad sent me to `Abdur Rahman bin Abza and `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa to ask them about the Salaf (Salam). They said, "We used to get war booty while we were with Allah's Apostle and when the peasants of Sham came to us we used to pay them in advance for wheat, barley, and oil to be delivered within a fixed period." I asked them, "Did the peasants own standing crops or not?" They replied, "We never asked them about it."

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Both the words "salam" and "salaf" have the same meaning, that is, to make an advance purchase of something: the price is paid in advance, and then after a specified period, the item is received according to the agreed weight, measure, or quantity.
(2)
Those from whom grain and similar goods were purchased were not asked whether they themselves engaged in farming or not. This was of no concern. They could procure the goods from wherever they wished and deliver them at the appointed time. However, if the transaction is conducted in such a specified manner that, for example, a certain quantity of wheat is required from a particular field which is not yet present there, then such a transaction is not permissible according to the Shariah.
