Sahih al-Bukhari 2183, 2184
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَبِيعُوا الثَّمَرَ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهُ، وَلاَ تَبِيعُوا الثَّمَرَ بِالتَّمْرِ " قَالَ سَالِمٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَخَّصَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ بِالرُّطَبِ أَوْ بِالتَّمْرِ، وَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ فِي غَيْرِهِ.
Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Salim ibn Abdullah informed me, from Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah said: “Do not sell produce until its ripeness is evident, and do not sell produce in exchange for dates.” Salim said: Abdullah informed me, from Zayd ibn Thabit, that the Messenger of Allah later granted a concession for selling araya in exchange for fresh ripe dates or dates, and did not grant this concession for anything else.
Translation notes
The report first states the general prohibition, then gives a later, specific concession for araya transactions. The Arabic does not include the English witness elaboration about risks of spoilage.
