Hadith 135

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 2188
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْخَصَ لِصَاحِبِ الْعَرِيَّةِ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا بِخَرْصِهَا‏.‏
Zaid bin Thabit:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) al lowed the owner of 'Araya to sell the fruits on the trees by means of estimation.
