We went on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Sham, and Nabateans from the Nabateans of Sham used to come to us, so we would pay them in advance for wheat and oil at a known price and for a specified term.Someone asked him, "From those who actually possessed these goods?"He replied, "We never used to ask them about that."
حدثنا محمد بن المصفى حدثنا أبو المغيرة حدثنا عبد الملك بن أبي غنية حدثني أبو إسحق
غزونا مع رسول الله ﷺ الشام فكان يأتينا أنباط من أنباط الشام فنسلفهم في البر والزيت سعرا معلوما وأجلا معلوما فقيل له ممن له ذلك قال ما كنا نسألهم
