[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the sale of years and commanded the establishment of disasters.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ وَأَمَرَ بِوَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحَ  

[Machine] I heard Sufyan speaking about this matter frequently during our sessions together. I can't count how many times I heard him talk about it. He talks about it so much that he doesn't even mention the issue of public calamities. All he mentions is that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited the sale of years, but later allowed it and also commanded the handling of public calamities. Sufyan said that Humayd used to mention something before the handling of public calamities that I don't remember, so I stopped mentioning the handling of public calamities because I didn't know what was said about it. But in the narration, it is mentioned that he commanded the handling of public calamities. Abu Sa'id bin Abi 'Amr narrated from Abu Al-Abbas from Ar-Rabi' from Ash-Shafi'i that the unremembered statement of Sufyan from the narration of Humayd from Humayd indicates that his command to handle them is similar to his command to reconcile disputes, which is only recommended but not obligatory, and similar to his command to give voluntary charity for the sake of goodness. Other interpretations are also possible. But when the narration carries both meanings together and there is no indication as to which one is more important, it is not allowed for us to make a judgment. Allah knows best. It is well-known that people are obligated to handle their wealth without needing specific permission, and this ruling regarding handling public calamities has been confirmed. The sheikh said, and this has been narrated from Abu Az-Zubayr from Jabir.  

سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ كَثِيرًا فِي طُولِ مُجَالَسَتِي لَهُ مَا لَا أُحْصِي مَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ مِنْ كَثْرَتِهِ لَا يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ أَمَرَ بِوَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحِ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ ثُمَّ زَادَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَمَرَ بِوَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَكَانَ حُمَيْدٌ يَذْكُرُ بَعْدَ بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ كَلَامًا قَبْلَ وَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحِ لَا أَحْفَظُهُ فَكُنْتُ أَكُفُّ عَنْ ذِكْرِ وَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحِ؛ لِأَنِّي لَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ كَانَ الْكَلَامُ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ أَمَرَ بِوَضْعِ الْجَوَائِحِ زَادَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ قَالَ فَقَدْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْكَلَامُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ سُفْيَانُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ أَمْرَهُ بِوَضْعِهَا عَلَى مِثْلِ أَمْرِهِ بِالصُّلْحِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ وَعَلَى مِثْلِ أَمْرِهِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ تَطَوُّعًا حَضًّا عَلَى الْخَيْرِ لَا حَتْمًا وَمَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ وَيَجُوزُ غَيْرُهُ فَلَمَّا احْتَمَلَ الْحَدِيثُ الْمَعْنَيَيْنِ مَعًا وَلَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَيِّهِمَا أَوْلَى بِهِ لَمْ يَجُزْ عِنْدَنَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنْ يُحْكَمَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ بِوَضْعِ مَا وَجَبَ لَهُمْ بِلَا خَبَرٍ ثَبَتَ بِوَضْعِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ  

[Machine] Narrated by Jaabir that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ laid down the plagues." Ali narrated to us that Sufyan narrated to us from Abu Zubair who narrated from Jaabir that the Prophet ﷺ laid down the plagues in this manner."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَضَعَ الْجَوَائِحَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَقَدْ كَانَ سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ وَضَعَ الْجَوَائِحَ كَذَا أَتَى بِهِ سُفْيَانُ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you send some fruit as a gift to your brother and it is afflicted with a disease, it is not permissible for you to take anything of it. How can you take your brother's property unjustly?  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنْ بِعْتَ مِنْ أَخِيكَ ثَمَرًا فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا بِمَ تَأْخُذُ مَالَ أَخِيكَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ؟  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "With what will one of you feel at ease taking his brother's wealth if a calamity from the heavens befell him?" This is a hadith narrated by Abu Az-Zubair from Jabir. If it is not known to be present in the selling of fruits before their ripening, like the hadith of Malik from Humaid from Anas, then it is clear in prohibiting taking its price if it is destroyed by a calamity. And Allah knows best.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَ يَسْتَحِلُّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَالَ أَخِيهِ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؟ حَدِيثُ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَارِدًا فِي بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ قَبْلَ بُدُوِّ صَلَاحِهَا كَحَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ فَهُوَ صَرِيحٌ فِي الْمَنْعِ مِنْ أَخْذِ ثَمَنِهَا إِنْ ذَهَبَتْ بِالْجَائِحَةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

Blight means anything which obviously damages (the crop), by rain, hail, locust, blast of wind, or fire. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3471)   

الْجَوَائِحُ كُلُّ ظَاهِرٍ مُفْسِدٍ منْ مَطَرٍ أَوْ بَرْدٍ أَوْ جَرَادٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ حَرِيقٍ
