Muwatta Malik #1398
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ فَنِيَ عَلَفُ حِمَارِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَقَالَ لِغُلاَمِهِ خُذْ مِنْ حِنْطَةِ أَهْلِكَ فَابْتَعْ بِهَا شَعِيرًا وَلاَ تَأْخُذْ إِلاَّ مِثْلَهُ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Sulayman
ibn Yasar said, "The fodder of the donkeys of Saad ibn Abi Waqqas ran
out and so he told his slave to take some of the family's wheat and
buy barley with it, and to only take a like quantity."
