Arabic hadith text

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.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Maslama narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, from Zayd ibn Thabit, may Allah be pleased with them, that the Messenger of Allah granted the owner of an ariya a concession to sell it according to its estimated amount.

Translation notes
  • Ariya is the named transaction; the report states that it may be sold on the basis of an estimate.
