Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ يَعْنِي الشَّافِعَيَّ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ اشْتِرَاءُ التَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ فِي رُءُوسِ النَّخْلِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةُ اسْتِكْرَاءُ الْأَرْضِ بِالْحِنْطَةِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Idris - meaning al-Shafi'i - told us, he said: Malik informed us, from Dawud ibn al-Husayn, from Abu Sufyan, client of Abu Ahmad, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade al-muzabanah and al-muhaqalah. Al-muzabanah is buying dried dates for dates still on the palm trees, and al-muhaqalah is leasing land in exchange for wheat.
