ahmad:19275Bahz And ʿAffān > Shuʿbah

[Machine] I heard Abu Al-Minhal, a man from the tribe of Kenana, say: "I asked Al-Baraa about Arabic grammar. He said: 'Ask Zaid ibn Arqam, for he is better than me and more knowledgeable.' So I asked Zaid, and he mentioned the narration."  

أحمد:١٩٢٧٥حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ بَهْزٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَدَّثَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمِنْهَالِ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ عَنِ الصَّرْفِ؟ فَقَالَ سَلْ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَأَعْلَمُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ زَيْدًا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ

[Machine] I heard Abu Al-Minhal, a man from the tribe of Kinanah, say, "I asked Al-Bara bin 'Azib and Zaid bin Arqam, and they said, 'I asked someone and he said, 'Go to so-and-so, as he is better and more knowledgeable than me.' I asked the other and he said the same.' They both said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade selling paper for gold as a form of debt.'"

[Machine] I heard Abu Al-Minhal say that he asked Al-Bara' bin 'Azib about Sarf (a linguistic term). Al-Bara' replied, "Ask Zaid bin Arqam as he is better and more knowledgeable than me." He then asked Zaid, who said, "Ask Al-Bara' as he is better and more knowledgeable than me." Finally, they both said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade selling paper for gold as a debt."
