Sunan Ibn MajahHadith Number 2269
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَرْخَصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا . قَالَ يَحْيَى الْعَرِيَّةُ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ الرَّجُلُ ثَمَرَ النَّخَلاَتِ بِطَعَامِ أَهْلِهِ رُطَبًا بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا .
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
Zaid bin Thabit told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave a concession regarding the sale of the estimated harvest of 'Araya return for dried dates. (Sahih) Yahya (one of the narrators) said: "The 'Araya is when a man purchases dates on the trees for food that his family has that is ripe, by estimating them (the dates)."
[1] ' Arâyâ refers to trees of the coming harvest which are given as a gift, but the giver will be troubled by the recipient's coming to his grove to collect the dates, so he offers to sell him dried, measured dates in return for the coming harvest. This is the definition of Imâm Mâlik, see the definition after no. 2269 which follows, and those listed in Sahih Al-Bukhâri under chapter no. 84 in the Book of Sales.Reference : Sunan Ibn Majah 2269In-book reference : Book 12, Hadith 133English translation : Vol. 3, Book 12, Hadith 2269
