Chapter: 'Araya Sales For Fresh DATes
Hadith 4546
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ يَحْيَى , عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ , عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ , وَرَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخِرْصِهَا يَأْكُلُهَا أَهْلُهَا رُطَبًا " .
It was narrated from Sahl bin Abi Hathamah that the Prophet forbade selling fruits before their condition was known, but he granted a concession allowing 'Araya sales by estimate, so its people could eat fresh dates.
