malik:31-15Mālik > Dāwud b. al-Ḥuṣayn > Abū Sufyān a freed slave of Ibn Abū Aḥmad > Abū Hurayrah

Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn from Abu Sufyan, the mawla of Ibn Abi Ahmad, from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed the produce of an ariya to be bartered for an estimation of what the produce would be when the crop was less than five awsuq or equal to five awsuq. Da'ud wasn't sure whether he said five awsuq or less than five. Malik said, ''Ariyas can be sold for an estimation of what amount of dried dates will be produced. The crop is examined and estimated while still on the palm. This is allowed because it comes into the category of delegation of responsibility, handing over rights, and involving a partner. Had it been like a form of sale, no one would have made someone else a partner in the produce until it was ready nor would he have renounced his right to any of it or put someone in charge of it until the buyer had taken possession."  

مالك:٣١-١٥وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أرْخَصَ فِي بَيْعِ العَرايا بِخَرْصِها، فِيما دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أوْسُقٍ أوْ فِي خَمْسَةِ أوْسُقٍ» يَشُكُّ داوُدُ قالَ: خَمْسَةِ أوْسُقٍ، أوْ دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أوْسُقٍ قالَ مالِكٌ: «وإنَّما تُباعُ العَرايا بِخَرْصِها مِنَ التَّمْرِ، يُتَحَرّى ذَلِكَ، ويُخْرَصُ فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ، وإنَّما أُرْخِصَ فِيهِ لِأنَّهُ أُنْزِلَ بِمَنزِلَةِ التَّوْلِيَةِ والإقالَةِ، والشِّرْكِ، ولَوْ كانَ بِمَنزِلَةِ غَيْرِهِ مِنَ البُيُوعِ ما أشْرَكَ أحَدٌ أحَدًا فِي طَعامِهِ حَتّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ، ولا أقالَهُ مِنهُ، ولا ولّاهُ أحَدًا حَتّى يَقْبِضَهُ المُبْتاعُ»
