4541 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخِرْصِهَا فِي خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ أَوْ مَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ»

Commentary
1. One Wasq is equal to 60 Sa', and Sa' used to be a volume of measure equaling two or two and a half kilograms. This sort of sale is permitted, because this quantity of dates is generally meant for eating, while greater quantities are kept for trade. Since this dispensation is in view of the compelling situation of the poor, it is not permitted in larger quantities. 2. 'Five Wasqs or less than five': The purpose is to underscore that in the quantity of more than five Wasqs, one should not derive benefit from this dispensation.
