## Hadith #3464

**Book:** Wages (Kitab Al-Ijarah) | **Narrator(s):** Abdullah bin Abi al-Mujalad عبد الله بن أبي المجالد, Abdur Rahman bin al-Qasim عبد الرحمن بن القاسم بن محمد بن أبي بكر, Abdur Rahman bin Mahdi عبد الرحمن بن مهدي, Muhammad bin Bashar Bindar محمد بن بشار بندار, Shu'bah bin al-Hajjaj شعبة بن الحجاج, Yahya bin Sa'id bin Farroukh al-Qatan يحيى بن سعيد بن فروخ القطان | **Grade:** Sahih

‘Abd Allah b. Shaddad and Abu Burdah disputed over salaf (payment in advance). They sent me to Ibn Abi Awfa and I asked him (about it) and he replied: We used to pay in advance (salaf) during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Abu Bakr and ‘Umar in wheat, barley, dates and raisins. Ibn Kathir added: “to those people who did not possess these things.” The agreed version then goes: I then asked Ibn Abza who gave a similar reply.
