2209 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ح وحَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْحَلِفَ فِي الْبَيْعِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنَفِّقُ، ثُمَّ يَمْحَقُ» بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِيمَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلًا مُؤَبَّرًا، أَوْ عَبْدًا لَهُ مَالٌ
