أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمِسْوَرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَجَابِرٍ، نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهُ وَنَهَى عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ كِرَاءِ الأَرْضِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ . رَوَاهُ أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ عَطَاءُ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ.
ʿAbdullah ibn Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn al-Miswar reported to us: Sufyan ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Dinar, from Ibn ʿUmar and Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade selling fruit until its ripeness became apparent, and forbade mukhabarah—renting land for a third or a quarter [of its produce]. Abu al-Najashi ʿAtaʾ ibn Suhayb also narrated it, and there is disagreement over his transmission.
Translation notes
The fractions refer to shares of the crop; the source records disagreement over the transmission through Abu al-Najashi.
