It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq that Hazrat Zaid bin Khalidah made a sale by salam with Atris bin Urqub for young slaves, then inquired about it from Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). He (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked the sale by salam of animals.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that doing Bai' Salam in animals with age is among usury.

Hazrat Abdul A'la reports that I was present in the service of Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him); he (may Allah have mercy on him) rejected the sale of animals by Salam.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about Salam sale in animals. He forbade it. The questioner said, "When you were in the country of Azerbaijan for two years, you used to see Salam sale in animals, but why did you not forbid it?" Hazrat Saeed (may Allah have mercy on him) replied, "Should I express my opinion among people who do not value it?" Hazrat Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to forbid it.

Hazrat Abu Nadrah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that our rulers prohibit us from conducting Salam transactions in animals. He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Then if your rulers prohibit you from this, obey them." And at that time, their rulers were personalities like Hazrat Hakam Ghafari and Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah have mercy on them).
