Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Muhaqala, Muzabana, Mukhabara, and Muawama (sale for several years). In the words of one narrator: "He forbade sale for several years and worldly (sales), but permitted 'Ariya (estimation-based sale) as an exception."
