حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَی الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّامَ فَکَانَ يَأْتِينَا أَنْبَاطٌ مِنْ أَنْبَاطِ الشَّامِ فَنُسْلِفُهُمْ فِي الْبُرِّ وَالزَّيْتِ سِعْرًا مَعْلُومًا وَأَجَلًا مَعْلُومًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ مِمَّنْ لَهُ ذَلِکَ قَالَ مَا کُنَّا نَسْأَلُهُمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3466
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa ibn Abu Awfa al-Aslami: We made a journey to Syria on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Nabateans of Syria came to us and we paid in advance to them (in a salam contract) in wheat and olive oil at a specified rate and for a specified time. He asked (by the people): you might have contracted with him who had these things in his possession? He replied: We did not ask them.
