Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22245 — Buying one hundred against a stipend

Bakr bin Uthman said: In Khurasan I used to buy the increment in stipends in exchange for silk and dirhams. One year I performed Hajj and asked Salim about this, and he said: There is no harm in it if it is for goods, but for dirhams I consider it disliked.
