حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أُخْبِرْتُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ ، فَيَخْرُصُ النَّخْلَ حِينَ يَطِيبُ ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ يُخَيِّرُ يَهُودَ ، يَأْخُذُونَهُ بِذَلِكَ الْخَرْصِ ، أَوْ يَدْفَعُونَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِذَلِكَ الْخَرْصِ ، لِكَيْ تُحْصَى الزَّكَاةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُؤْكَلَ الثِّمَارُ وَتُفَرَّقَ " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ used to send Abdullah ibn Rawahah (to Khaybar), and he would assess the amount of dates when they began to ripen before they were eaten (by the Jews). He would then give choice to the Jews that they have them (on their possession) by that assessment or could assign to them (Muslims) by that assignment, so that the (amount of) zakat could be calculated before the fruit became eatable and distributed (among the people).

1606. Commentary: The chain of narration of this report is weak, but it is established as authentic through other evidences. For example, further on (Book of Sales, Chapter on Estimation, Hadith 3415), there is the statement of Jabir radi Allahu anhu. After the region of Khaybar was conquered, its lands and orchards remained with the Jews as sharecroppers (muzara‘ah). According to the agreement, half of the produce was taken from them. And Abdullah ibn Rawahah radi Allahu anhu used to perform the duty of estimating the fruits.
