He said: 'Do not hold me to account for what has passed.” (Ṣāḥil)
3861 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قِرَاءَةً قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: عَبْدٌ أُؤَاجِرُهُ سَنَةً بِطَعَامِهِ، وَسَنَةً أُخْرَى بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: «لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ، وَيُجْزِئُهُ اشْتِرَاطُكَ حِينَ تُؤَاجِرُهُ أَيَّامًا، أَوْ آجَرْتَهُ وَقَدْ مَضَى بَعْضُ السَّنَةِ» قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَا تُحَاسِبُنِي لِمَا مَضَى
