حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مُجَالِدٍ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ إِلَی عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَی وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَی فَسَأَلْتُهُمَا عَنْ السَّلَفِ فَقَالَا کُنَّا نُصِيبُ الْمَغَانِمَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَکَانَ يَأْتِينَا أَنْبَاطٌ مِنْ أَنْبَاطِ الشَّأْمِ فَنُسْلِفُهُمْ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ إِلَی أَجَلٍ مُسَمَّی قَالَ قُلْتُ أَکَانَ لَهُمْ زَرْعٌ أَوْ لَمْ يَکُنْ لَهُمْ زَرْعٌ قَالَا مَا کُنَّا نَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2255
Narrated Muhammad bin Abi Al-Mujalid: Abu Burda and `Abdullah bin Shaddad sent me to `Abdur Rahman bin Abza and `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa to ask them about the Salaf (Salam). They said, "We used to get war booty while we were with Allah's Apostle and when the peasants of Sham came to us we used to pay them in advance for wheat, barley, and oil to be delivered within a fixed period." I asked them, "Did the peasants own standing crops or not?" They replied, "We never asked them about it."
