Hadith 4620
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ , قَالَ : قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَهُمْ يُسْلِفُونَ فِي التَّمْرِ السَّنَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَ , فَنَهَاهُمْ وَقَالَ : " مَنْ أَسْلَفَ سَلَفًا فَلْيُسْلِفْ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ , وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Al-Minhal said:` "I heard Ibn 'Abbas say: 'When the Prophet came (to al-Madinah), they used to pay in advance for dates, two or three years in advance. He forbade them that and said: 'whoever pays in advance for dates, let him pay for a known amount or a known weight, to be delivered at a known time'''
