Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade Muhaqala, Muzabana, and Mukhabara, and forbade selling the fruit of date palms until it becomes ripe. And by "ripe" it is meant: it becomes red or yellow, or fit for eating. The narrator named Zaid says: I asked Ata: Did you hear this directly from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them), that he mentioned this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? He replied: Yes.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Walid is Saeed bin Mina Makki.
