Arabic text

4633 - أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ، وَالْمُخَابَرَةِ، وَعَنِ الثُّنْيَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُعْلَمَ»

Commentary

'An exception' signifies that the seller says to the buyer: I will sell you the fruits of this orchard for this price, but the fruits of ten trees would be mine. Since it is not known which those ten trees are, such exception is likely to become the cause of dispute and disagreement. Such a transaction, therefore, is forbidden.
