1229. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ prohibited the sale of Habalil-Habalah." (Sahih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās and Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. And Habalil-Habalah is the offspring of the offspring (of an animal). It is an invalid sale according to the people of knowledge and it is a type of Gharar sale.[1]
Shu'bah reported this Hadīth from Ayyūb, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, from Ibn 'Abbās.
'Abdul-Wahhāb Ath-Thaqafī and others reported it from Ayyūb, from Sa'eed bin Jubair and Nāfi',
from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ, and this is more correct.

Commentary
'Habalah' is plural of 'Habl' as 'Katabah' is plural of 'Katab' 'Habalah' is an offspring of the offspring of an animal. Explanation: A) To pay at the time when the she-camel will give birth to a she-camel and that offspring she-camel will give birth to a camel or she-camel. Imām Shāfi'i and some others support this explanation of 'Habalah'. B) Others said it is to pay at the time when the she-camel gives birth to a she-camel and that offspring she-camel gets pregnant. In both situations the deal is unlawful and strictly disapproved because of the time factor. Nobody knows what will happen during this long period of time.
