Sahih Muslim Book - 21, Hadith - 3887

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ بِلاَلٍ - عَنْ يَحْيَى - وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ - عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنْ أَهْلِ دَارِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِى حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَقَالَ « ذَلِكَ الرِّبَا تِلْكَ الْمُزَابَنَةُ ». إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِى بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ النَّخْلَةِ وَالنَّخْلَتَيْنِ يَأْخُذُهَا أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا يَأْكُلُونَهَا رُطَبًا.

It was narrated from Bushair bin Yasar from some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) who were members of his family, including Sahl bin Abi Hathmah, that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade selling fresh dates for dried dates. He said: "That is Riba, that is Muzabanah." But he granted a concession allowing the sale of 'Ariyyah, where the produce of one or two palm trees is assigned to a household in return for an estimated measure of dried dates, so that they can eat fresh dates.
