Authentic hadith of Sahih Muslim Sahih Muslim 1536f

Narrator:Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْمَكِّيُّ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

نَهَى عَنِ الْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُخَابَرَةِ وَأَنْ تُشْتَرَى النَّخْلُ حَتَّى تُشْقِهَ -

Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbidding Muhaqala, and Muzabana, and Mukhabara, and the buying of date-palm until its fruit is ripened (ripening means that its colour becomes red or yellow, or it is fit for being eaten). And Muhaqala implies that crops in the field are bought for grains according to a customary measure. Muzabana implies that date-palm should be sold for dry dates by measuring them with wisqs, and al-Mukhabara is (a share), maybe one-third or one-fourth (in produce) or something like it. Zaid (one of the narrators) said to Ata' b. Abu Rabah (the other narrator):

Did You bear Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) making a mention of it that he had heard it directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? He said: Yes.

قَوْله : ( نَهَى أَنْ تُشْتَرَى النَّخْل حَتَّى تُشْقِهِ وَالْأشْقَاهُ أَنْ يَحْمَرّ أَوْ يَصْفَرّ ) وَفِي رِوَايَة ( حَتَّى تُشْقِح ) بِالْحَاءِ هُوَ بِضَمِّ التَّاء وَإِسْكَان الشِّين فِيهِمَا وَتَخْفِيف الْقَاف وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ فَتَحَ الشِّين فِي ( تَشُقّهُ ) وَهُمَا جَائِزَانِ ( تَشُقّهُ وَتُشْقِح ) وَمَعْنَاهُمَا وَاحِد , وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ ( تَشُقّهُ ) وَقَالَ : الْمَعْرُوف بِالْحَاءِ. وَالصَّحِيح جَوَازهمَا , وَقِيلَ : إِنَّ الْهَاء بَدَل مِنْ الْحَاء , كَمَا قَالُوا وَمَدْحُهُ وَمَدْهُهُ. وَقَدْ فَسَّرَ الرَّاوِي ( الشِّقَاه وَالْإِشْقَاح ) بِالِاحْمِرَارِ وَالِاصْفِرَار , قَالَ أَهْل اللُّغَة : وَلَا يُشْتَرَط فِي ذَلِكَ حَقِيقَة الِاصْفِرَار وَالِاحْمِرَار بَلْ يَنْطَلِق عَلَي…
