Sunan Abu Dawud #3363

Commercial Transactions (Kitab Al-Buyu)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي خَارِجَةُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرَايَا بِالتَّمْرِ وَالرُّطَبِ ‏.‏
The Prophet (ﷺ) gave license for the sale of 'araya for dried dates and fresh dates.
Narrated by Narrated Zaid b. Thabit:

Context

This hadith illustrates the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) allowance for the sale of 'araya, which refers to the exchange of fresh and dried dates. This practice reflects the flexibility within Islamic law regarding trade, particularly in agricultural products, and highlights the importance of facilitating commerce in a manner that is beneficial to the community.

Modern Application

In contemporary business, this principle can be seen in the way farmers and vendors engage in trade of seasonal produce. By allowing for certain exceptions in trade, it promotes economic activity and supports local economies, encouraging fair practices.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Contracts & Agreements and Economic Justice because it addresses permissible trade practices while promoting fairness in economic transactions.
