nasai-kubra:6079Ziyād b. Ayyūb > Ibn ʿUlayyah > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ having forbidden Muzabana, and Muzabana implies the selling of dry dates for fresh dates on the tree with a definite measure (making it clear) that in case it increases, it belongs to me and if it is less, it is my responsibility. (Using translation from Muslim 1542e)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٠٧٩أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ أَنْ يُبَاعَ مَا فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ بِتَمْرٍ بِكَيْلٍ مُسَمًّى إِنْ زَادَ فَلِي وَإِنْ نَقَصَ فَعَلَيَّ

bukhari:2172Abū al-Nuʿmān > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ forbade Muzabana; and Muzabana is the selling of fresh fruit (without measuring it) for something by measure on the basis that if that thing turns to be more than the fruit, the increase would be for the seller of the fruit, and if it turns to be less, that would be of his lot. Narrated Ibn ʿUmar from Zaid bin Thabit that the Prophet ﷺ allowed the selling of the fruits on the trees after estimation (when they are ripe).  

البخاري:٢١٧٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ

the Messenger of Allah forbade Muzabanah. Ad Muzabanah is when what is art the tops of the trees is sold for a certain amount f dried dates; if there are more then I gain, and if there are less the I lose.

ahmad:4490Ismāʿīl > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited Muzabana, which is selling the dates on the trees based on a specified weight. If the dates increase, it is for the seller, and if they decrease, it is for the buyer. Ibn 'Umar narrated that Zaid ibn Thabit informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted the sale of 'araaya (a type of dates) based on their ripe condition.
