Hadith 1411
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ. وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ: بَيْعُ التَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ كَيْلًا، وَبَيْعُ الْكَرْمِ بِالزَّبِيبِ كَيْلًا.
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade Muzabana, and Muzabana is that dates on the tree are sold by measure in exchange for plucked dates, and grapes on the vine are sold by measure in exchange for dried grapes.
Hadith 1412
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ. وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ: اشْتِرَاءُ التَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ. وَالْمُحَاقَلَةُ: اسْتِكْرَاءُ الْأَرْضِ بِالْحِنْطَةِ.
It is narrated from Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) or Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of Muzabanah and Muhaqalah. Muzabanah is to buy the dates on the tree in exchange for plucked dates, and Muhaqalah is to rent land in exchange for wheat.
Hadith 1413
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ. وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ: اشْتِرَاءُ التَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ. وَالْمُحَاقَلَةُ: اشْتِرَاءُ الزَّرْعِ بِالْحِنْطَةِ. [ ص: 187 ] قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ اسْتِكْرَاءِ الْأَرْضِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ، فَقَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ.
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade muzabanah and muhaqalah. Muzabanah is the name for buying the dates on a tree in exchange for dried dates, and muhaqalah is the name for buying wheat in its ear in exchange for cleaned wheat. Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I inquired about leasing land in exchange for dirhams and dinars, so Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: There is no harm in that.
Hadith 1414
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ. وَالْمُحَاقَلَةُ: أَنْ يَبِيعَ الرَّجُلُ الزَّرْعَ بِمِائَةِ فَرَقِ حِنْطَةٍ. وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ: أَنْ يَبِيعَ التَّمْرَ فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ بِمِائَةِ فَرَقٍ. وَالْمُخَابَرَةُ: كِرَاءُ الْأَرْضِ بِالثُّلُثِ وَالرُّبُعِ.
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mukhabarah, muhaqalah, and muzabanah. Muhaqalah is when a person sells wheat that is still in the ear for one hundred sa’ (a measure) of cleaned wheat. Muzabanah is when dates on the date-palm trees are sold for one hundred sa’ of dried dates. Mukhabarah is when land is given on sharecropping for a third or a fourth of the produce.
Hadith 1415
أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُخَابِرُ، فَلَا نَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا حَتَّى زَعَمَ رَافِعٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا، فَتَرَكْنَاهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ. أَخْرَجَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ الْأَحَادِيثَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْبُيُوعِ، وَالْخَامِسَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الرِّسَالَةِ.
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that we used to practice mukhabarah and did not see any harm in it, until Rafi‘ (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed the opinion that the Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden it, so we abandoned it for that reason.
