Hadith 132

Sahih Bukhari

Book 34: Sales and Trade

Chapter 82

The sale called Al-Muzabana; which is the sale of dried dates for fresh ones (that are still on the trees), and dried grapes for fresh grapes and the sale called Al-‘Araya (i.e., the selling of ripe fresh date, still over the palms, by means of estimation, for dry dates).

باب بَيْعِ الْمُزَابَنَة، وَهْيَ بَيْعُ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَبَيْعُ الزَّبِيبِ بِالْكَرْمِ وَبَيْعُ الْعَرَايَا

Anas said, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade the sales called Muzabana and Muhaqala (i.e., to sell wheat in ears for pure wheat).
قَالَ أَنَسٌ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2185
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ‏.‏ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ اشْتِرَاءُ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ كَيْلاً، وَبَيْعُ الْكَرْمِ بِالزَّبِيبِ كَيْلاً‏.‏
`Abdullah bin `Umar:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade Muzabana; and Muzabana means the selling of fresh dates (on the trees) for dried dates by measure and also the selling of fresh grapes for dried grapes by measure.
