حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ مَخْلَدِ بْنِ خُفَافٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى أَنَّ الْخَرَاجَ بِالضَّمَانِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1285
This Hadith states the rule: the produce is for the responsible one. In simple words, the benefit of something is linked to the person who carries its risk and responsibility. The report from Aishah says the Messenger of Allah judged this way. Abu Eisa grades it Hasan Sahih and says it has been reported through other routes. He also says the people of knowledge acted upon it. The text itself does not give the longer example here, so the explanation should stay general. The core idea is fair trade: benefit and responsibility should be connected, not split in a way that causes unfairness.
What we learn from this hadith
- Benefit is connected with responsibility in sale-related matters.
- Fair dealings require attention to who carries the risk.
- The report is presented as acted upon by people of knowledge.
