ibnmajah:2228 – ʿAlī b. Muḥammad > Wakīʿ > Ibn Abū Laylá > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade selling food bought by measure until two Sa' have been measured - the Sa' of the seller and the Sa' of the buyer."[1]

ابن ماجة:٢٢٢٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَجْرِيَ فِيهِ الصَّاعَانِ صَاعُ الْبَائِعِ وَصَاعُ الْمُشْتَرِي

bayhaqi:10701 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū Bakr al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī al-Zayyāt> Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Marzūq > Muslim b. Abū Muslim > Makhlad b. al-Ḥusayn > Hishām > Muḥammad b. Sīrīn > Abū Hurayrah

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ prohibited selling food until the measurement has been made with two saa' [a specific unit of measurement], so that there would be a surplus for the seller and a deficit for the buyer.

البيهقي:١٠٧٠١ – أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّيَّاتُ بِبَغْدَادَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ ثنا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَجْرِيَ فِيهِ الصَّاعَانِ فَيَكُونَ لِلْبَائِعِ الزِّيَادَةُ وَعَلَيْهِ النُّقْصَانُ
