Hadith Commentary:
Manabadhah is when each of the seller and the buyer throws his garment towards the other, and neither of them examines or inspects the other’s garment; yet, the sale becomes finalized in this manner.

In the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), this type of transaction was common, and in addition to ignorance and deception, it also contained an element of gambling.

The form of gambling in this was that it would be agreed between the seller and the buyer that, “What I have, I will throw towards you, and what you have, you throw towards me.”

Thus, the sale would be concluded on this condition, and neither party would know what and how much goods the other possessed.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited this type of transaction.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), this type of buying and selling was common among the Arabs. Islam prohibited it because it involved deception. Similarly, among them, there was a particular manner of sitting in gatherings, which has been clarified in the hadith.

(2)
In this manner of sitting, the private parts would become exposed; therefore, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade it. If, in the posture of ihtiba’ (sitting with the knees drawn up and arms wrapped around them), proper covering is observed, then sitting in this way is permissible. And Allah knows best.
