3894. It was narrated that Usaid bin Zuhair said: "Râfi' bin Khadîj came to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has forbidden for you Al-Haql. Al-Haql is the third and the fourth."[1] And Al-Muzâbanah. Al-Muzâbanah is to buy what is at the top of the date-palm trees in return for a certain number of Wasqs of dried dates."[2] (Sahîh)
3863 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُهَلْهَلٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ ظُهَيْرٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَنَا رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقْلِ، وَالْحَقْلُ الثُّلُثُ وَالرُّبُعُ، وَعَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ شِرَاءُ مَا فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ»

The reason for forbidding Muzâbanah is that in it there is a greater possibility of a loss for one of the parties. The fruit yet hanging on a tree may or may not equal the fixed quantity of dried fruit. It was forbidden on account of this possibility. (Muzâbanah implies the selling of fresh dates for dry dates by measuring them out, and selling raisins for the measure of grapes).
