Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَطِيبَ، وَلاَ يُبَاعُ شَىْءٌ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ إِلاَّ الْعَرَايَا.
Translation
Yahya ibn Sulayman narrated to us: Ibn Wahb narrated to us: Ibn Jurayj informed us, from Ata and Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet forbade selling produce until it ripened. Nothing of it may be sold except for dinars or dirhams, apart from araya.
Translation notes
The Arabic states the araya exception but does not explain its terms in this passage.
