English translation
3464. It was narrated from Muḥammad, or 'Abdullāh bin Mujālid who said: "Abdullāh bin Shaddād, and Abū Burdah differed concerning payment in advance. They sent me to Ibn Abī Awfā to ask him, and he said: 'We used to pay in advance at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, Abū Bakr and 'Umar, for wheat, barley, dates and grapes.'" Ibn Kathīr added: "To people who did not possess them" – then the two reports concur: "He said: 'And I asked Ibn Abzā and he said something similar.'" (Sahīh)
