حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لأَهْلِ الْعَرَايَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا بِمِثْلِ خَرْصِهَا . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ هَكَذَا رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ . وَرَوَى أَيُّوبُ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ . وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا . وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ .
Zaid bin Thabit Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) Prohibited Al-Muhalaqah And Al-Muzabanah, Except That He Permitted Those Practice Al-'Araya To Sell It For A Like Estimation. [He Said:] There Are Narrations On This Topic From Abu Hurairah And Jabir. [Abu 'Eisa Said:] The Hadith If Zaid Bin Thabit: This Is How Muhammad Bin Ishaq Reported This Hadith.Ayyub, 'Ubaidullah Bin 'Umar, And Malik Bin Anas Reported It From Nafi', From 'Ibn Umar: "The Prophet (ﷺ) Prohibited Al-Muhalaqah And Al-Muzabanah." With This Chain Of Narration, It Has Been Reported From Ibn 'Umar, From Zaid Bin Thabit, From The Prophet (ﷺ) That He Permitted Al-'Araya In Cases Less That Five Wasq. This Is More Correct Than The Narration Of Muhammad Bin Ishaq.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1300
This Hadith discusses sale practices related to crops and fruits. Zaid bin Thabit reports that the Prophet prohibited al-muhaqalah and al-muzabanah, except that he permitted the people of al-araya to sell it for a like estimation. Abu Eisa then compares routes and says another narration about the Prophet permitting al-araya in cases less than five wasq is more correct than the report of Muhammad bin Ishaq. The explanation should stay with the text: the general sale practices are prohibited, but a limited araya allowance is mentioned. It also shows how Hadith scholars compare routes before deciding which wording is stronger.
What we learn from this hadith
- Muhaqalah and muzabanah are prohibited in the wording of the report.
- A limited araya exception is mentioned by estimation.
- The text gives care to which narration route is more correct.
