Arabic text

٤٦٢٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ‌وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ‌وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌شُعْبَةُ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ ‌سَمُرَةَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْحَيَوَانِ بِالْحَيَوَانِ نَسِيئَةً».

Commentary

The narrations in the preceding chapter were about taking an animal on loan, and that is permitted. This chapter and this Hadith is related to the sale of the animal. A loan is an outstanding debt. Though, transaction could be made by paying hand to hand and on credit too. The sale of an animal in exchange for an animal concluded on the spot is permissible and appropriate; irrespective of whether there occurs any decrease or increase, for example on one side there is only one animal, while on the other there are two or three. There is no harm in it, as there is clarification to that effect in the forthcoming chapter. But the sale of an animal in exchange for animal on credit is not appropriate.
