حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ أَوْ يُسْتَوْفَى و قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَحْسِبُ الْبُيُوعَ كُلَّهَا بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ
