23.24 Regarding Selling Crops Years In Advance

٢٣۔٢٤ باب فِي بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ

abudawud:3374Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal And Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn > Sufyān > Ḥumayd al-Aʿraj > Sulaymān b. ʿAtīq > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

The Prophet ﷺ forbade selling fruits years ahead, and commanded that unforeseen loss be remitted in respect of what is affected by blight. Abu Dawud said: The attribution of the tradition regarding the effect of blight is one-third of the produce to the Prophet ﷺ is not correct. This is the opinion of the people of Medina.  

أبو داود:٣٣٧٤حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَتِيقٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ وَوَضَعَ الْجَوَائِحَ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَصِحَّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الثُّلُثِ شَىْءٌ وَهُوَ رَأْىُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ
abudawud:3375Musaddad > Ḥammād > Ayyūb > Abū al-Zubayr And Saʿīd b. Mīnāʾ > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

The Prophet ﷺ forbade sale of fruits for a number of years. One of the two narrators (Abu al-Zubair and Sa'id b. Mina') mentioned the words "sale for years" (bai' al-sinin instead of al-mu'awamah).  

أبو داود:٣٣٧٥حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُعَاوَمَةِ وَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ
