Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) permitted the owner of ‘Ariyyah to sell its fruits in exchange for an estimated amount of dates.

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling dates that are still on the tree in exchange for dates that have been picked. However, he permitted the practice of ‘Ariyyah, allowing it to be sold by estimation so that the owner of the ‘Ariyyah may eat fresh dates in exchange for them.

Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade the sale of Muzabanah, that is, selling dates on the tree in exchange for dried dates, except for those who practice 'Ariyyah, to whom he granted permission.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the sale of ‘Ariyyah in five wasq or less.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Muzabanah. Muzabanah is that dates on the tree are sold by measure in exchange for dried dates, and similarly, grapes on the vine are sold in exchange for raisins.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade muzabanah, that is, selling the fruits of a garden—if they are dates—in exchange for measured dried dates, or if they are grapes, selling them for measured dried grapes, or if it is a crop, selling it for measured grain. He forbade all such types of transactions.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If someone sells date palms that have already been pollinated, then the fruit belongs to the seller, unless the buyer has stipulated a condition (that the sale includes the fruit, in which case the fruit will also belong to the buyer).

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mukhabarah, muhaqalah, and muzabanah, and likewise forbade selling fruits before they ripen, and that fruits or grain on the tree should only be sold in exchange for dinars or dirhams. However, he permitted ‘ariyah.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that many of us had extra land. They said that why should we not give it on sharecropping for a third, a quarter, or a half? Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land should cultivate it himself, or give it as a gift to his brother, and if he cannot do that, then he should keep the land with himself.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has land should cultivate it himself, or give it to his (Muslim brother) as a gift, and if he cannot do this, then he should leave it uncultivated.
