Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us; Malik ibn Anas narrated to us, saying: Nafi narrated to me, from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever buys date palms that have been pollinated, their fruit belongs to the seller unless the buyer stipulates otherwise.”
Muhammad ibn Rumh narrated to us; al-Layth ibn Sad informed us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with a report of similar meaning.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " مَنِ اشْتَرَى نَخْلاً قَدْ أُبِّرَتْ فَثَمَرَتُهَا لِلْبَائِعِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ " .
Ubbirat refers to date palms whose flowers have been pollinated, traditionally by hand; the report assigns their existing fruit to the seller unless otherwise stipulated.
Does “have been pollinated” make the agricultural condition clear?
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِنَحْوِهِ .
The second transmission is expressly described as being of similar meaning, not reproduced verbatim.
Does “with a report of similar meaning” preserve the source’s abbreviated second route?
