Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23719 — A man who pays in advance (salam)

Dabi' bin Amr said: I asked Salim bin Abdullah about a man who made a salam sale with another man in food, then he came to the threshing floor, took it, and said: Buy this from me. What is the ruling on doing so? He said: Whoever wishes may deceive himself. He said: Let him take possession of it, then sell it if he wishes.
