To what extent is the narration found in Musannaf Abi Shaybah authentic: "A man came and said: 'Indeed, among us are those who frequently go out and strike [for livelihood/travel], so is there any sin upon us if we sleep before the Isha prayer?' He [the narrator/scholar] said: 'Yes, and a sin, and two sins, and three sins,'" and what is the status of its narrators, and what is the meaning of: "Indeed, among us are those who frequently go out and strike [for livelihood/travel]"?

No statements from scholars have been found regarding the authenticity or weakness of the mentioned narration, but some other narrations support it. The "mukharrij" is the one who concludes the "mukharajah" contract, which is an agreement between a person and their enslaved individual for the latter to pay a specific sum of money within a defined period. Neither the enslaved individual nor the master is compelled to enter into this contract. The "mudarib" is the one who concludes the "mudarabah (definition)" contract, which involves giving money to someone to trade with it for a specific percentage of the profit.
