Muwatta Malik #1399
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ فَنِيَ عَلَفُ دَابَّتِهِ فَقَالَ لِغُلاَمِهِ خُذْ مِنْ حِنْطَةِ أَهْلِكَ طَعَامًا فَابْتَعْ بِهَا شَعِيرًا وَلاَ تَأْخُذْ إِلاَّ مِثْلَهُ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Sulayman ibn Yasar
told him that one time the fodder of the animals of Abd ar-Rahman ibn
al-Aswad ibn Abd Yaghuth was finished so he said to his slave, "Take
some of your family's wheat as food and buy with it barley, and take
only a like quantity.' "
