English translation

[3839] 31 - (...) It was narrated from Ibn Tâwûs, from his father, from Ibn 'Abbâs who said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever buys food, he should not sell it until he has measured it.'" I said to Ibn 'Abbâs: "Why?" He said: "Don't you see that they are exchanging gold, but the delivery of food is delayed?"

Arabic text

31 - (1525) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلَا يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَكْتَالَهُ»، فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: لِمَ؟ فَقَالَ: «أَلَا تُرَاهُمْ يَتَبَايَعُونَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالطَّعَامُ مُرْجَأٌ»، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ: مُرْجَأٌ
