أَخْبَرَنَا الثِّقَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُخَاضَرَةِ وَقَالَ " الْمُخَاضَرَةُ بَيْعُ الثَّمَرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَزْهُوَ وَالْمُخَابَرَةُ بَيْعُ الْكَرْمِ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعٍ " . خَالَفَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
The trustworthy narrator reported to us: Hammad ibn Masʿadah narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ʿAbdullah, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah, from Jabir ibn ʿAbdullah, that the Prophet ﷺ forbade muzabanah and mukhadarah. He said: “Mukhadarah is selling fruit before it ripens, and mukhabarah is selling the grapes for such-and-such saʿs.” ʿAmr ibn Abi Salamah differed from him, saying: from his father, from Abu Hurayrah.
Translation notes
The source uses the generic designation ‘the trustworthy narrator’ rather than naming this transmitter. Mukhadarah and mukhabarah are retained with the source glosses.
