Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ أَنْ يَبِيعَ ثَمَرَ حَائِطِهِ إِنْ كَانَ نَخْلاً بِتَمْرٍ كَيْلاً، وَإِنْ كَانَ كَرْمًا أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِزَبِيبٍ كَيْلاً أَوْ كَانَ زَرْعًا أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِكَيْلِ طَعَامٍ ، وَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ‏.‏

Translation

Qutayba narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: The Messenger of Allah forbade muzabana: selling the produce of one orchard for measured dates if it was a palm orchard; selling the produce of a vineyard for measured raisins; or selling a crop for a measured quantity of food. He forbade all of that.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic lists three produce-for-measure exchanges: palm produce for dates, vineyard produce for raisins, and crops for measured food.
