Muwatta Malik #1358
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى تَنْجُوَ مِنَ الْعَاهَةِ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَبَيْعُ الثِّمَارِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا مِنْ بَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'r-Rijal Muhammad ibn Abd
ar-Rahman ibn Haritha from his mother, Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
forbade selling fruit until it was clear of blight. Malik said,
"Selling fruit before it has begun to ripen is an uncertain
transaction (gharar) ."
