4590 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَارِبُ بْنُ دِثَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: «لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ دَعَا بِمِيزَانٍ فَوَزَنَ لِي وَزَادَنِي»

Commentary
1. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had bought a camel from him during the course of journey. Forty dirhams were fixed as its price. The payment was made on his arrival to Al-Madinah. 2. 'Called for a scales': In that period of time, coins of dirhams and dinars did exist but were few in currency. The common transactions were rather carried out for gold and silver, and gold and silver was weighed and given in payment.
