Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْبَزَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثٌ فِيهِنَّ الْبَرَكَةُ الْبَيْعُ إِلَى أَجَلٍ وَالْمُقَارَضَةُ وَإِخْلاَطُ الْبُرِّ بِالشَّعِيرِ لِلْبَيْتِ لاَ لِلْبَيْعِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Suhayb reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘There are three things that contain blessing: selling on deferred terms, profit-sharing, and mixing wheat with barley for household use, not for sale.’

  • Muqarada is rendered ‘profit-sharing’, a financing arrangement in which one party provides capital and another manages the trade. The source expressly limits mixing wheat and barley to household use rather than resale.
