Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade the transaction of Muhaqalah and Muzabanah. (Muhaqalah refers to renting land in exchange for wheat, and Muzabanah refers to selling harvested dates in exchange for dates still on the tree.)

It is narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in the same manner.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling fruits together with dates, and permitted 'Ariyyah (Ariyyah refers to giving date trees to someone to eat their fruit), that it may be sold by estimation, and its owner may eat fresh dates.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Muhaqalah and the sale of Muzabanah.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Muzabana, except for the owners of 'Ariya; he permitted them to sell dates with fruits.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Muhaqalah and Muzabanah. Muhaqalah is in crops and Muzabanah is in dates.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the transactions of Muhaqalah and Muzabanah.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling dates in exchange for fruits.

Ismail al-Shaybani says that I sold the tops of the trees on the condition that if they were more, then they would be theirs, and if they were less, then they would be upon them. Then I asked Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about this. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. He only permitted it in the case of 'Ariya.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Muhaqalah and Muzabanah.

Hazrat Nafi' says that Muhaqala in crops is just like Muzabana in dates.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Muhaqalah and Muzabanah.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about selling one date for another while they are still on the tree. He replied: If dinars or dirhams are also included between the two dates, then it is permissible.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that it is permissible to exchange dates on the tree for dried dates, provided that ten dirhams or a dinar are included in it.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the transaction of Muzabana.

Hazrat Waki’ says that we have heard the explanation of Muzabana as follows: to buy dates on the tree in exchange for cut dates, and Muhaqala is to buy wheat or barley from the ear, and ‘Araya is that: a person owns a tree, either as an heir or he has bought this tree from someone else’s garden.
