البيهقي:١٠٧٠٠ – أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ قَالُوا ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

[Machine] 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
