Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade al-Muzabanah, which means that a man sells the fruit of his garden, if it consists of palm-trees (fresh dates), for dried dates by measure; or if it consists of grapes (on the vines), for raisins by measure; or if it is unpicked crops, he sells it for a measured amount of picked crops. He forbade all that. [Agreed upon]. Narrated Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (RA): I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) being asked about buying fresh dates for dry ones. He replied, "Will fresh dates diminish when they become dry?" They answered, "Yes." So he forbade that. [Reported by al-Khamsah and graded Sahih (authentic) by Ibn al-Madini, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim].
وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ -رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا- قَالَ: { نَهَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ; أَنْ يَبِيعَ ثَمَرَ حَائِطِهِ إِنْ كَانَ نَخْلاً بِتَمْرٍ كَيْلاً, وَإِنْ كَانَ كَرْماً أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِزَبِيبٍ كَيْلاً, وَإِنْ كَانَ زَرْعاً أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِكَيْلِ طَعَامٍ, نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1] . 845 - وَعَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -سُئِلَ عَنِ اِشْتِرَاءِ اَلرُّطَبِ بِالتَّمْرِ. فَقَالَ: أَيَنْقُصُ اَلرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ? " قَالُوا: نَعَمَ. فَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ } رَوَاهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ اَلْمَدِينِيِّ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَابْنُ حِبَّانَ, وَالْحَاكِمُ [2] .
