Hadith #30
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَ
سُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْمُزَابَنَةِ قَالَ فَكَانَ نَافِعٌ يُفَسِّرُهَا الثَّمَرَةُ تُشْتَرَى بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا بِكَيْلٍ مُسَمًّى إِنْ زَادَتْ فَلِي وَإِنْ نَقَصَتْ فَعَلَيَّ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Abd al-Wahhab ibn 'Abd al-Majid, from Ayyub, from Nafi' — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade al-muzabana [a speculative barter sale]. Nafi' would explain it as: fruit on the tree being bought on the basis of an estimated amount of dried dates by a named measure — 'if it turns out more, the surplus is mine; if less, the shortfall is my loss.'
