أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ مَا فِي رُئُوسِ النَّخْلِ بِتَمْرٍ بِکَيْلٍ مُسَمًّی إِنْ زَادَ لِي وَإِنْ نَقَصَ فَعَلَيَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4548
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade Muzabanah. And Muzábanah is when what is at the tops of the trees is sold for a certain amount of dried dates; if there are more then I gain, and if there are less then I lose. (Sahih)
