English translation

3493. It was narrated from Mālik, from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar that he said: "At the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ we used to buy food. He would send someone to us to tell us to move it from the place where we had bought it to another place before selling it," meaning, without weighing or measuring. (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3493 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «كُنَّا فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبْتَاعُ الطَّعَامَ، فَيَبْعَثُ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ يَأْمُرُنَا بِانْتِقَالِهِ مِنَ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي ابْتَعْنَاهُ فِيهِ إِلَى مَكَانٍ سِوَاهُ، قَبْلَ أَنْ نَبِيعَهُ يَعْنِي جُزَافًا»
