Sunan Abi Dawud Wages (Kitab Al-Ijarah) 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 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. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-3464/
