It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the sale of ‘Ariyyah, and its form is that (one may) buy fresh dates on the trees in exchange for measured dry dates by estimation; these people (the owners) will eat the fresh dates. (In one narration, there is this addition:) Apart from this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not grant any concession.
