English translation

3911. It was narrated from Jâbir that the Prophet ﷺ forbade Al-Muhâqalah, Al-Muzâbanah, Al-Mukhâbarah and exceptions when selling, unless they were well-defined. (Hasan) And in the narration of Hammâm bin Yahya is what acts as the proof that 'Aţâ' did not hear Jâbir's Hadûth from the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever has land, then let him cultivate it".

Arabic text

3880 - أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ، وَالْمُخَابَرَةِ، وَعَنِ الثُّنْيَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُعْلَمَ» وَفِي رِوَايَةِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ يَحْيَى كَالدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ عَطَاءً لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَزْرَعْهَا "

  1. 1

    [1] A definition follows after No. 3914, and some of them say it is leasing the land for cultivation, while the owner will get whatever is produced from one area of it, and another area is for the cultivator. See the commentary of As-Sindî. In Fath Al-Bârî (after No. 2327) Ibn Hajar mentioned the view that Al-Mukhâbarah refers to share-cropping when the seeds are supplied by the cultivator, while Al-Muzâra'ah refers to share-cropping when the seeds are supplied by the owner of the land.

  2. 2

    [2] Selling fresh, as-yet-unharvested and unmeasured dates for a certain measure of dried dates.

  3. 3

    [3] Renting land in return for one-third or one-quarter of the produce.

  4. 4

    [4] Arâyâ (singular, Arîya): This refers to when the fruits of a designated tree were given as a gift to another person, then the giver was troubled by the recipient's coming to his garden to gather the dates, so he was permitted to buy the fresh dates in return for dried dates.

Commentary

'Exceptions, unless...': For instance, one says at the time of selling the fruit of an orchard that he would take the fruit of its trees for himself, without specifying which trees, such dubious exception could later become a cause of dispute. This is why it was forbidden.
