Hadith 1300
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، " أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لِأَهْلِ الْعَرَايَا ، أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا بِمِثْلِ خَرْصِهَا " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَجَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ هَكَذَا رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، وَرَوَى أَيُّوبُ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ " ، وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا " ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق .
Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade Muhaqala and Muzabana, but he permitted the owners of ‘Araya to sell them by estimation for an equal amount of dates. __QUR_N__ Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) has been narrated in this manner by Muhammad bin Ishaq. And Ayyub, Ubaidullah bin Umar, and Malik bin Anas have narrated from Nafi’, and Nafi’ from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade Muhaqala and Muzabana.
2- In this chapter, ahadith have also been reported from Abu Hurairah and Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them). And with this same chain, Ibn Umar narrated from Zaid bin Thabit, and he from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), that he permitted the sale of ‘Araya. And this is more authentic than the hadith of Muhammad bin Ishaq. __XREF_N__

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The situation of ‘Araya is as follows: for example, a person gives the fruit of one or two trees from his orchard to a needy person, but after giving it, the repeated coming and going of that person causes him inconvenience. So he says:
Brother, estimate and take dry or fresh dates from us, and leave the fruit of this tree for us. Although this is technically muzabana (exchange of fresh dates for dry dates), since it is a necessity, and it is also being given to the needy, it has been declared permissible.

Hadith Commentary:
Muzabana sale is when fresh dates are bought in exchange for dried dates based on estimation, and at the time of purchase it is said that if the estimated dates, which are considered equal in measure, turn out to be more, then the excess will be mine, and if they are less, then I myself will bear the loss.
There is a risk of harm to one of the parties in this type of transaction; therefore, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited it.
