Hadith 1349
Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib and Sulaiman bin Yasar used to prohibit that a person should sell wheat for gold on a deferred basis, and then, before taking the gold, take dates in exchange for it.
Hadith 1350
Hazrat Kathir bin Farqad asked Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm: If a person sells grain for gold on a fixed term, then before taking the gold, he buys dates in exchange for it? He said: This is disliked, and he forbade it.
Hadith 1351
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ .
The same is also narrated from Ibn Shihab.
Hadith 1351B1
قَالَ مَالِك : وَإِنَّمَا نَهَى سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، وَابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَنْ لَا يَبِيعَ الرَّجُلُ حِنْطَةً بِذَهَبٍ، ثُمَّ يَشْتَرِي الرَّجُلُ بِالذَّهَبِ تَمْرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ الذَّهَبَ مِنْ بَيْعِهِ الَّذِي اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ الْحِنْطَةَ، فَأَمَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِالذَّهَبِ الَّتِي بَاعَ بِهَا الْحِنْطَةَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ تَمْرًا مِنْ غَيْرِ بَائِعِهِ الَّذِي بَاعَ مِنْهُ الْحِنْطَةَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ الذَّهَبَ وَيُحِيلَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَى مِنْهُ التَّمْرَ عَلَى غَرِيمِهِ الَّذِي بَاعَ مِنْهُ الْحِنْطَةَ بِالذَّهَبِ، الَّتِي لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي ثَمَرِ التَّمْرِ، فَلَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, Sulayman ibn Yasar, Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad, and Ibn Shihab forbade that a man sell wheat for gold, then with that gold buy dates from the same person to whom he sold the wheat, before taking possession of the gold. But if, with that gold, he buys dates from someone other than the person to whom he sold the wheat, and refers the price of the dates to the person to whom he sold the wheat, then it is permissible.
Hadith 1351B2
قَالَ مَالِك : وَقَدْ سَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، فَلَمْ يَرَوْا بِهِ بَأْسًا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I asked many people of knowledge about this issue, all of them said it is correct.
