Sahih al-Bukhari 2110 (Book 34, Hadith 138)
on the ‘Araya by estimation and their new owners might eat their dates fresh. Sufyan (in another
narration) said, “I told Yahya (a sub-narrator) when I was a mere boy, ‘Meccans say that the Prophet (ﷺ)
allowed them the sale of the fruits on ‘Araya by estimation.’ Yahya asked, ‘How do the Meccans know
about it?’ I replied, ‘They narrated it (from the Prophet (ﷺ) ) through Jabir.’ On that, Yahya kept quiet.”
Sufyan said, “I meant that Jabir belonged to Medina.” Sufyan was asked whether in Jabir’s narration
there was any prohibition of selling fruits before their benefit is evident (i.e. no dangers of being spoilt
or blighted). He replied that there was none.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2110 (Book 34, Hadith 138)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
