This is part 2 of 4 of “Wages (Kitab Al-Ijarah)”, book 24 of Sunan Abu Dawud — Hadith 3,466–3,515. The book is long enough that it is split across 4 pages so each one stays quick to load; the parts run in order and are linked at the foot of the page.
Narrated Abdullah ibn AbuAwfa ibn AbuAwfa al-Aslami: We made a journey to Syria on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Nabateans of Syria came to us and we paid in advance to them (in a salam contract) in wheat and olive oil at a specified rate and for a specified time.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Qatadah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds:"If he finds defect (in the slave) within three days, he may return it without evidence; if he finds a defect after three days, he will be required to produce evidence that he (the slave) had the defect when he bought it."
