3361. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ forbade selling fresh dates for dry dates by measure, and selling grapes for raisins by measure, and selling (fresh) crops for dry wheat by measure. (Sahih)
3361 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ كَيْلًا وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْعِنَبِ بِالزَّبِيبِ كَيْلًا، وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الزَّرْعِ بِالْحِنْطَةِ كَيْلًا»

The term Al-Muzābanah applies to a situation like the sale of fresh dates uncut on the tree (whose exact quantity cannot be determined) in exchange for dry dates by their calculated and definite measure. In this exchange the dried dates in hand can be measured, while the fresh ones are only estimated by conjecture, as they are still un-plucked.
