Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39002 — A dog licking a vessel: Abu Hanifah

It is reported from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that he used to dislike taking fresh dates for dried dates, equal for equal, and he would say: Fresh dates are swollen while dried dates are shrunken. It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: There is no harm in it.
