English translation

2191. Narrated Sahl bin Abū Ḥathma: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbade the selling of fruits (fresh dates) for dried dates, but allowed the sale of fruits on the 'Arāyā by estimation and their new owners might eat their dates fresh. Sufyān (in another narration) said, "I told Yahyā (a subnarrator) when I was a mere boy, 'Makkahns say that the Prophet ﷺ allowed them the sale of the fruits on 'Arāyā by estimation.' Yahyā asked, 'How do the Makkahns know about it?' I replied, 'They narrated it (from the Prophet ﷺ) through Jābir.' On that, Yahyā kept quiet." Sufyān said, "I meant that Jābir belonged to Al-Madīna." Sufyān was asked whether in Jābir's narration there was any prohibition of selling fruits before their benefit is evident (i.e., no dangers of being spoilt or blighted). He replied that there was none.

2191 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ: سَمِعْتُ بُشَيْرًا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ، وَرَخَّصَ فِي العَرِيَّةِ أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخَرْصِهَا، يَأْكُلُهَا أَهْلُهَا رُطَبًا» وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى: إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي العَرِيَّةِ يَبِيعُهَا أَهْلُهَا بِخَرْصِهَا يَأْكُلُونَهَا رُطَبًا، قَالَ: هُوَ سَوَاءٌ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَقُلْتُ لِيَحْيَى: وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ العَرَايَا فَقَالَ: وَمَا يُدْرِي أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ؟ قُلْتُ: إِنَّهُمْ يَرْوُونَهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، فَسَكَتَ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنَّ جَابِرًا مِنْ أَهْلِ المَدِينَةِ، قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ: وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهُ؟ قَالَ: لاَ
