4620. It was narrated that Abû Al-Minhâl said: “I heard Ibn ‘Abbâs say: ‘When the Prophet ﷺ came (to Al-Madînah), they used to pay in advance for dates, two or three years in advance. He forbade them that and said: ‘Whoever pays in advance for dates, let him pay for a known amount or a known weight, to be delivered at a known time.’” (Sahîh)
4616 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُمْ يُسْلِفُونَ فِي التَّمْرِ السَّنَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَ فَنَهَاهُمْ، وَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَسْلَفَ سَلَفًا فَلْيُسْلِفْ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ، وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ»

'Specified measure' the quantity of food grain or fruits whose sale is being made, while specified weight means the quantity of gold and silver which is being paid by way of price. That means these should be specified upon fixing the price. Specified period means the time when the food grain or the fruits would be delivered as per the agreement. So to say, everything ought to be made clear. Dubiousness should be there concerning the deal, so that the possibility of dispute does not arise.
