Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرٌو، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الطَّائِيَّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ السَّلَمِ، فِي النَّخْلِ‏.‏ قَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ بَيْعِ النَّخْلِ، حَتَّى يُؤْكَلَ مِنْهُ وَحَتَّى يُوزَنَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَأَىُّ شَىْءٍ يُوزَنُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ حَتَّى يُحْرَزَ‏.‏ وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ‏.‏

Translation

Adam narrated to us: Shuba narrated to us: Amr informed us; he said: I heard Abu al-Bakhtari al-Tai say: I asked Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, about advance sales for date palms. He replied: “The Prophet forbade selling dates on the palm until they could be eaten and weighed.” A man asked, “What is to be weighed?” A man beside him said, “Until they have been gathered and secured.” Muadh said: Shuba narrated to us, from Amr, who said: Abu al-Bakhtari said: I heard Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, report that the Prophet forbade the same.
