Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1604d
This advance payment hadith tells us that Ibn Abu Najih narrated the report through another chain and mentioned the phrase, “for a specified period.” The main topic is still the salam sale, where payment is made before delivery. The wording points to clear terms: known measure, known weight, and known time. For anyone looking for a salam sale hadith or buying fruits in advance hadith, this version is helpful because it keeps the time element in the report. The lesson should stay within the text: when a future delivery is involved, the agreement should not be loose or unclear. This narration also helps readers see why comparing wordings matters, since one version may include a phrase another version does not.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version mentions a specified period.
- Known terms help make an advance sale clear.
- Comparing narrations helps preserve the exact wording.
