Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling fruits until they ripen, and that no type of them should be sold in exchange for anything except dirhams and dinars, except for ‘ariyah, for which it is permissible to sell them in exchange for fruits.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, permitted the sale of ‘Araya on the condition that it is five wasq or less than five wasq.

Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), people used to sell fruits (before they ripened). Then, when the buyers would pick the fruits and the sellers would demand their price, the buyers would say that the fruit’s core had turned black and the fruit had gone bad, and they would mention other similar defects and quarrel. Therefore, when such cases became frequent before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he, due to these disputes, advised them:“Either suspend the sale (of fruits), or if not, then do not sell until the fruit’s soundness becomes apparent.”

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling fruits before they become ripe. It was asked, "What is meant by ripe?" He replied: "Until they become red or yellow and fit for eating."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling fruits before they reach“zuhw.”It was asked,“What is ‘zuhw’?”He said,“When they become red.”Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Tell me! If Allah Almighty destroys the fruits, then for what does one of you take his brother’s wealth?”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) appointed a man over Khaybar, and he brought some "Janib" (a superior type of) dates to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him, "Are all the dates of Khaybar like this (of such quality)?" He replied, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah! We exchange one sa' of these dates for two sa' of other dates, and sometimes we exchange two sa' of these dates for three sa' of other dates." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Do not do so. Instead, sell the inferior dates for dirhams, and then buy the superior dates with those dirhams."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade Muhaqala, Mukhadara, Mulamasa, Munabadhah, and Muzabana.

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Hind, the mother of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) is a miserly man, so is there any sin upon me if I take something from his wealth secretly? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "You and your son may take as much as is sufficient for you according to custom." (The limit of what is customary was not specified so that it remains general, and due to this general specification, this narration is included under this chapter.)

Narrated Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prescribed the right of pre-emption in every undivided property, but if the boundaries are fixed and the ways are changed, then there is no pre-emption.

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Ibrahim (peace be upon him) migrated along with (his wife) Sarah (may Allah be pleased with her), and they reached a town where there was a king, one of the kings or (he said) a tyrant, one of the tyrants. It was reported to him that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had come with a very beautiful woman. So he sent a man to ask: 'O Ibrahim, who is this woman with you?' Ibrahim (peace be upon him) replied: 'She is my sister.' (The messenger said: The king is calling this woman.) After that, Ibrahim said to Sarah (peace be upon her): 'There is no believer on the face of the earth except you and me.' Then Ibrahim (peace be upon him) sent Sarah to the king. (When she reached the king,) the king turned his attention towards her, so she performed ablution and stood up to pray, and said: 'O Allah, if I believe in You and Your Messenger, and if I have protected my private parts from everyone except my husband, then do not let this disbeliever overpower me.' As soon as she made this supplication, the disbeliever fell down and began to rub his foot on the ground. Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sarah (peace be upon her), seeing this state, said: 'O Allah! If he dies, people will say that she killed the king.' Then his condition went away. He turned towards her again, but she got up, performed ablution, and started praying, and said: 'O Allah! If I believe in You and Your Messenger, and I have protected my private parts from everyone except my husband, then do not let this disbeliever overpower me.' (After this) the king again fainted, to the extent that if he died, people would say that she killed the king. Then again his condition subsided. Then the second or third time, he said to the people: 'You have brought me a human or a devil? Take her back to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and also hand over Ajar (Hajar) to her.' So she returned to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and said: 'Do you know that Allah has humiliated that disbeliever and has also sent a slave-girl (Hajar, peace be upon her) for service.'"
