حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْحَصَاةِ .

Muharriz ibn Salamah al-Adani narrated to us; Abd al-Aziz ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade gharar sales (transactions involving excessive uncertainty) and pebble sales (in which a sale is determined by throwing a pebble).
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْحَصَاةِ .
Gharar is a technical term for uncertainty or risk in a transaction; bay al-hasah names a specific sale practice, whose forms are described in legal sources with some variation.
Are these concise glosses adequate for the two prohibited sale types?
