[3887] 67 - (1540) It was narrated from Bushair bin Yasâr from some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ who were members of his family, including Sahl bin Abî Hathmah, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade selling fresh dates for dried dates. He said: "That is Ribâ, that is Muzâbanah." But he granted a concession allowing the sale of 'Ariyyah, where the produce of one or two palm trees is assigned to a household in return for an estimated measure of dried dates, so that they can eat fresh dates.

Arabic text

67 - (1540) وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ دَارِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ، وَقَالَ: «ذَلِكَ الرِّبَا، تِلْكَ الْمُزَابَنَةُ»، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ، النَّخْلَةِ وَالنَّخْلَتَيْنِ يَأْخُذُهَا أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا يَأْكُلُونَهَا رُطَبًا
