أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُخَابَرَةِ وَعَنِ الثُّنْيَا إِلاَّ أَنْ تُعْلَمَ . وَفِي رِوَايَةِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ يَحْيَى كَالدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ عَطَاءً لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا ".
Ziyad ibn Ayyub informed me: ʿAbbad ibn al-ʿAwwam narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Husayn narrated to us: Yunus ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us, from ʿAtaʾ, from Jabir, that the Prophet ﷺ forbade muhaqalah, muzabanah, mukhabarah, and ath-thunya, except when it is clearly specified. In the version of Hammam ibn Yahya is evidence that ʿAtaʾ did not hear from Jabir his report from the Prophet ﷺ: “Whoever has land should cultivate it.”
Translation notes
Ath-thunya refers to an unspecified exclusion from a sale; the report allows it when the excluded portion is clearly known.
