Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَرَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرِيَّةِ قَالَ وَالْعَرِيَّةُ النَّخْلَةُ وَالنَّخْلَتَانِ يَشْتَرِيهِمَا الرَّجُلُ بِخَرْصِهِمَا مِنْ التَّمْرِ فَيَضْمَنُهُمَا فَرَخَّصَ فِي ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Yazid told us: Yahya informed us, from Bushayr ibn Yasar, who was informed by a man among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade selling fresh dates for dried dates, but permitted the ariyya. He said: The ariyya is one or two palm trees which a man buys by estimating their yield in dried dates and takes responsibility for them - he permitted that.
