حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ السَّلَمِ، فِي النَّخْلِ فَقَالَ نُهِيَ عَنْ بَيْعِ النَّخْلِ، حَتَّى يَصْلُحَ، وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ، نَسَاءً بِنَاجِزٍ‏.‏ وَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ السَّلَمِ، فِي النَّخْلِ، فَقَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ بَيْعِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يُؤْكَلَ مِنْهُ، أَوْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ، وَحَتَّى يُوزَنَ‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Walid narrated to us: Shuba narrated to us, from Amr, from Abu al-Bakhtari, who said: I asked Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, about advance sales for date palms. He replied: “The sale of date palms is forbidden until they ripen, and the sale of silver for deferred delivery in exchange for immediate payment is forbidden.” I asked Ibn Abbas about advance sales for date palms. He replied: “The Prophet forbade selling date palms until they could be eaten from and weighed.”
