حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ قَالَ يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ سَمِعْتُ بُشَيْرًا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَرَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرِيَّةِ أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخَرْصِهَا يَأْکُلُهَا أَهْلُهَا رُطَبًا وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَی إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرِيَّةِ يَبِيعُهَا أَهْلُهَا بِخَرْصِهَا يَأْکُلُونَهَا رُطَبًا قَالَ هُوَ سَوَائٌ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقُلْتُ لِيَحْيَی وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَکَّةَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرَايَا فَقَالَ وَمَا يُدْرِي أَهْلَ مَکَّةَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُمْ يَرْوُونَهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ فَسَکَتَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنَّ جَابِرًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ نَهَی عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّی يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ قَالَ لَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2191
Narrated Sahl bin Abu Hathma: Allah's Apostle forbade the selling of fruits (fresh dates) for dried dates but allowed the sale of fruits on the 'Araya by estimation and their new owners might eat their dates fresh. Sufyan (in another narration) said, "I told Yahya (a sub-narrator) when I was a mere boy, 'Meccans say that the Prophet allowed them the sale of the fruits on 'Araya by estimation.' Yahya asked, 'How do the Meccans know about it?' I replied, 'They narrated it (from the Prophet ) through Jabir.' On that, Yahya kept quiet." Sufyan said, "I meant that Jabir belonged to Medina." Sufyan was asked whether in Jabir's narration there was any prohibition of selling fruits before their benefit is evident (i.e. no dangers of being spoilt or blighted). He replied that there was none.
