It is narrated from Ibrahim that a person made a sale of salam with another for some food. When the appointed time arrived, that person came and said, "Here is your food, I have measured it, so take delivery of it." Ibrahim says that until he measures it again, he should not take delivery.

Hazrat Dabi bin Amr narrates that I asked Hazrat Salim bin Abdullah: A person made a sale of salam (forward sale) with another in food, then he came to the place of delivery and received it, and then said, "Buy this from me." What is the ruling on this? He replied: Whoever wishes, let him deceive himself. He said: Take possession, then if you wish, sell it.
