[Machine] Abu Burdah and Abdullah ibn Shaddad sent me to Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa to ask him, "Did you used to pay tribute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with wheat, barley, and raisins?" So, I asked him and he said, "We used to pay tribute to the people of Sham with wheat, barley, and raisins in a known measure for a known time." I asked him, "Was there anyone among you who had crops?" He said, "We did not ask them about that." He also sent me to Abdul Rahman ibn Abza and asked him, "Ask him if the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pay tribute with wheat, barley, and raisins during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pay tribute with wheat, barley, and raisins to the people of Sham in a known measure for a known time. They did not ask you whether you had crops or not."  

بَعَثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى أَسْأَلُهُ أَكُنْتُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ؟ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ كُنَّا نُسْلِمُ إِلَى نَبِيطِ الشَّامِ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ قُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ زَرْعٌ؟ قَالَ مَا كُنَّا نَسْأَلُهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَبَعَثَانِي إِلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى فَقَالَا سَلْهُ هَلْ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُسْلِمُونَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُسْلِمُونَ فِي الْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ إِلَى نَبِيطِ الشَّامِ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَمَا كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ أَلَكُمْ حَرْثٌ أَمْ لَا؟  

[Machine] If there is a known time for a known crop, then there is no problem.  

إِذَا كَانَ زَرْعٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ  

[Machine] "To surrender in flesh."  

أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فِي اللَّحْمِ
