حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لأَهْلِ الْعَرَايَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا بِمِثْلِ خَرْصِهَا ‏ .‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَجَابِرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ هَكَذَا رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى أَيُّوبُ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ ‏.‏ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا ‏.‏ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ‏.‏

Zayd ibn Thābit reported that the Prophet prohibited muḥāqalah and muzābanah, but permitted the owners of ʿarāyā to sell them according to an estimate of their yield. Reports on this subject are also narrated from Abu Hurairah and Jābir. Abū ʿĪsā said: This is how Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq narrated Zayd ibn Thābit’s hadith. Ayyūb, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, and Mālik ibn Anas narrated from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Prophet prohibited muḥāqalah and muzābanah; through the same chain, they narrated from Ibn ʿUmar, from Zayd ibn Thābit, that the Prophet permitted ʿarāyā. This latter version is more accurate than Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq’s report.
