Sahih Muslim — Irrigation

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) deputed a person to collect revenue from Khaibar. He brought fine quality of dates, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Are all the dates of Khaibar like this)? He said: No. We got one sa' (of fine dates) for two sa's (of inferior dates), and (similarly) two sa's for three sa's. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Don't do that rather sell the inferior quality of dates for dirhams (money), and then buy the superior quality with the help of dirhams

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرات على مالك عن عبد المجيد بن سهيل بن عبد، الرحمن بن عوف عن سعيد بن المسيب، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، وعن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم استعمل رجلا على خيبر فجاءه بتمر جنيب فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اكل تمر خيبر هكذا " . فقال لا والله يا رسول الله انا لناخذ الصاع من هذا بالصاعين والصاعين بالثلاثة . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " فلا تفعل بع الجمع بالدراهم ثم ابتع بالدراهم جنيبا

Abd Sa'id reported:Bilal (Allah be pleased with him) came with fine quality of dates. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: From where (you have brought them)? Bilal said: We had inferior quality of dates and I exchanged two sa's (of inferior quality) with one sa (of fine quality) as food for Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Woe! it is in fact usury; therefore, don't do that. But when you intend to buy dates (of superior quality), sell (the inferior quality) in a separate bargain and then buy (the superior quality). And in the hadith transmitted by Ibn Sahl there is no mention of" whereupon

حدثنا اسحاق بن منصور، اخبرنا يحيى بن صالح الوحاظي، حدثنا معاوية، ح وحدثني محمد بن سهل التميمي، وعبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الدارمي، - واللفظ لهما - جميعا عن يحيى بن حسان، حدثنا معاوية، - وهو ابن سلام - اخبرني يحيى، - وهو ابن ابي كثير - قال سمعت عقبة بن عبد الغافر، يقول سمعت ابا سعيد، يقول جاء بلال بتمر برني فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من اين هذا " . فقال بلال تمر كان عندنا رديء فبعت منه صاعين بصاع لمطعم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم . فقال رسول الله عند ذلك " اوه عين الربا لا تفعل ولكن اذا اردت ان تشتري التمر فبعه ببيع اخر ثم اشتر به " . لم يذكر ابن سهل في حديثه عند ذلك

Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) reported:Dates were brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and he said: These dates are not like our dates, whereupon a man said: We sold two sa's of our dates (in order to get) one sa', of these (fine dates), whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: That is interest; so return (these dates of fine quality), and get your (inferior dates) ; then sell our dates (for money) and buy for us (with the help of money) such (fine dates)

وحدثنا سلمة بن شبيب، حدثنا الحسن بن اعين، حدثنا معقل، عن ابي قزعة، الباهلي عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد، قال اتي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بتمر فقال " ما هذا التمر من تمرنا " . فقال الرجل يا رسول الله بعنا تمرنا صاعين بصاع من هذا . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " هذا الربا فردوه ثم بيعوا تمرنا واشتروا لنا من هذا

Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) reported:We were given to eat, during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), dates of different qualities mixed together, and we used to sell two sa's of these for one sa, (of fine quality of dates). This reached Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), whereupon he said: There should be no exchange of two sa's of (inferior) dates for one sa (of fine dates) and two sa's of (inferior) wheat for one sa' of (fine) wheat. and one dirham for two dirharms

حدثني اسحاق بن منصور، حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى، عن شيبان، عن يحيى، عن ابي سلمة، عن ابي سعيد، قال كنا نرزق تمر الجمع على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو الخلط من التمر فكنا نبيع صاعين بصاع فبلغ ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " لا صاعى تمر بصاع ولا صاعى حنطة بصاع ولا درهم بدرهمين

Abu Nadra reported:I asked Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) about the conversion (of gold and silver for silver and gold). We said: Is it hand to hand exchange? I said: Yes. whereupon he said: There is no harm in it. I informed Abu Sa'id about it, telling him that I had asked Ibn 'Abbas about it and he said: Is it hand to hand exchange? I said: Yes, whereupon he said: There is no harm in it. He (the narrator) said, or he said like it: We will soon write to him, and he will not give you this fatwa (religious verdict). He said: By Allah, someone of the boy-servants of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) brought dates, but he refused to accept them (on the plea) that those did not seem to be of the dates of our land. He said: Something had happened to the dates of our land, or our dates. So I got these dates (in exchange by giving) excess (of the dates of our land), whereupon he said: You made an addition for getting the fine dates (in exchange) which tantamounts, to interest; don't do that (in future). Whenever you find some doubt (as regards the deteriorating quality of) your dates, sell them, and then buy the dates that you like

حدثني عمرو الناقد، حدثنا اسماعيل بن ابراهيم، عن سعيد الجريري، عن ابي، نضرة قال سالت ابن عباس عن الصرف، فقال ايدا بيد قلت نعم . قال فلا باس به . فاخبرت ابا سعيد فقلت اني سالت ابن عباس عن الصرف فقال ايدا بيد قلت نعم . قال فلا باس به . قال اوقال ذلك انا سنكتب اليه فلا يفتيكموه قال فوالله لقد جاء بعض فتيان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بتمر فانكره فقال " كان هذا ليس من تمر ارضنا " . قال كان في تمر ارضنا - او في تمرنا - العام بعض الشىء فاخذت هذا وزدت بعض الزيادة . فقال " اضعفت اربيت لا تقربن هذا اذا رابك من تمرك شىء فبعه ثم اشتر الذي تريد من التمر

Abu Nadra reported:I asked Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) about the conversion of gold with gold but they did not find any harm in that. I was sitting in the company of Abd Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about this exchange, and he said: Whatever is addition is an' interest. I refused to accept it on account of their statement (statement of Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn 'Umar). He said: I am not narrating to you except what I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). There came to him the owner of a date-palm with one sa' of fine dates, and the dates of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) were of that colour. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said to him: Where did you get these dates? I went with two sa's of (inferior dates) and bought one sa' of (these fine dates), for that is the prevailing price (of inferior dates) in the market and that is the price (of the fine quality of dates in the market), whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Woe be upon you! You have dealt in interest, when you decide to do it (i. e. exchange superior quality of dates for inferior quality) ; so you should sell your dates for another commodity (or currency) and then with the help of that commodity buy the dates you like. Abu Sa'ad said: When dates are exchanged for dates (with different qualities) there is the possibility (of the element of) interest (creeping into that) or when gold is exchanged for gold having different qualities. I subsequently came to Ibn 'Umar and he forbade me (to do it), but I did not come to Ibn 'Abbas; (Allah be pleased with them). He (the narrator) said: Abu as-Sahba' narrated to me: He asked Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) in Mecca, and he too disapproved of it

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا عبد الاعلى، اخبرنا داود، عن ابي نضرة، قال سالت ابن عمر وابن عباس عن الصرف، فلم يريا به باسا فاني لقاعد عند ابي سعيد الخدري فسالته عن الصرف فقال ما زاد فهو ربا . فانكرت ذلك لقولهما فقال لا احدثك الا ما سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جاءه صاحب نخله بصاع من تمر طيب وكان تمر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم هذا اللون فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " انى لك هذا " . قال انطلقت بصاعين فاشتريت به هذا الصاع فان سعر هذا في السوق كذا وسعر هذا كذا . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ويلك اربيت اذا اردت ذلك فبع تمرك بسلعة ثم اشتر بسلعتك اى تمر شيت " . قال ابو سعيد فالتمر بالتمر احق ان يكون ربا ام الف��ة بالفضة قال فاتيت ابن عمر بعد فنهاني ولم ات ابن عباس - قال - فحدثني ابو الصهباء انه سال ابن عباس عنه بمكة فكرهه

Abu Salih reported:I heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) said: Dinar (gold) for gold and dirham for dirham can be (exchanged) with equal for equal; but he who gives more or demands more in fact deals in interest. I sald to him: Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) says otherwise, whereupon he said: I met Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) and said: Do you see what you say; have you heard it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), or found it in the Book of Allah, the Glorious and Majestic? He said: I did not hear it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). and I did not find it in the Book of Allah (Glorious and Majestic), but Usama b. Zaid narrated it to me that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: There can be an element of interest in credit

حدثني محمد بن عباد، ومحمد بن حاتم، وابن ابي عمر، جميعا عن سفيان بن، عيينة - واللفظ لابن عباد - قال حدثنا سفيان، عن عمرو، عن ابي صالح، قال سمعت ابا سعيد الخدري، يقول الدينار بالدينار والدرهم بالدرهم مثلا بمثل من زاد او ازداد فقد اربى . فقلت له ان ابن عباس يقول غير هذا . فقال لقد لقيت ابن عباس فقلت ارايت هذا الذي تقول اشىء سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم او وجدته في كتاب الله عز وجل فقال لم اسمعه من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولم اجده في كتاب الله ولكن حدثني اسامة بن زيد ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " الربا في النسيية

Ubaidullah b. Abu Yazid heard Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) as saying:Usama b. Zaid reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: There can be an element of interest in credit (when the payment is not equal)

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، وعمرو الناقد، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، وابن ابي عمر، - واللفظ لعمرو - قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال الاخرون، حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن عبيد، الله بن ابي يزيد انه سمع ابن عباس، يقول اخبرني اسامة بن زيد، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " انما الربا في النسيية

Ibn 'Abbas; (Allah be pleased with them) reported on the authority of Usama b. Zaid Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as having said this:There is no element of interest when the money or commodity is exchanged hand to hand

حدثنا زهير بن حرب، حدثنا عفان، ح وحدثني محمد بن حاتم، حدثنا بهز، قالا حدثنا وهيب، حدثنا ابن طاوس، عن ابيه، عن ابن عباس، عن اسامة بن زيد، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " لا ربا فيما كان يدا بيد

Ata' b. Abu Rabah reported:Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with them) met Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) and said to him: What do you say in regard to the conversion (of commodities or money) did you hear it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), or is it something which you found In Allah's Book, Majestic and Glorious? Thereupon Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleated with them) said: I don't say that. So far at Allah's Massenger (ﷺ) is concerned, you know him better, and to far as the Book of Allah to concerned, I do not know it (more than you do), but 'Usama b. Zaid (Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as having said this: Beware, there can be an element of interest in credit

حدثنا الحكم بن موسى، حدثنا هقل، عن الاوزاعي، قال حدثني عطاء بن ابي، رباح ان ابا سعيد الخدري، لقي ابن عباس فقال له ارايت قولك في الصرف اشييا سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ام شييا وجدته في كتاب الله عز وجل فقال ابن عباس كلا لا اقول اما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فانتم اعلم به واما كتاب الله فلا اعلمه ولكن حدثني اسامة بن زيد ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " الا انما الربا في النسيية

Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) (Allah be pleased with him) said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed the one who accepted interest and the one who paid it I asked about the one who recorded it, and two witnesses to it. He (the narrator) said:We narrate what we have heard

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، - واللفظ لعثمان - قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال، عثمان حدثنا جرير، عن مغيرة، قال سال شباك ابراهيم فحدثنا عن علقمة، عن عبد الله، قال لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اكل الربا وموكله . قال قلت وكاتبه وشاهديه قال انما نحدث بما سمعنا

Jabir said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnesses, and he said:They are all equal

حدثنا محمد بن الصباح، وزهير بن حرب، وعثمان بن ابي شيبة، قالوا حدثنا هشيم، اخبرنا ابو الزبير، عن جابر، قال لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اكل الربا وموكله وكاتبه وشاهديه وقال هم سواء

Nu'man b. Bashir (Allah be pleased with him) reported:I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon himn) as having said this (and Nu'man) pointed towards his ears with his fingers): What is lawful is evident and what is unlawful is evident, and in between them are the things doubtful which many people do not know. So he who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blameless, and he who indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things, just as a shepherd who pastures his animals round a preserve will soon pasture them in it. Beware, every king has a preserve, and the things God his declaced unlawful are His preserves. Beware, in the body there is a piece of flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound and if it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt, and hearken it is the heart

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير الهمداني، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا زكرياء، عن الشعبي، عن النعمان بن بشير، قال سمعته يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول واهوى النعمان باصبعيه الى اذنيه " ان الحلال بين وان الحرام بين وبينهما مشتبهات لا يعلمهن كثير من الناس فمن اتقى الشبهات استبرا لدينه وعرضه ومن وقع في الشبهات وقع في الحرام كالراعي يرعى حول الحمى يوشك ان يرتع فيه الا وان لكل ملك حمى الا وان حمى الله محارمه الا وان في الجسد مضغة اذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله واذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله الا وهي القلب

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zakariya with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا وكيع، ح وحدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا عيسى بن يونس، قالا حدثنا زكرياء، بهذا الاسناد مثله

AI-Nu'man b. Bashir reported it from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). The hadith narrated by Zakariya is, however, more complete and lengthy than the other ones

وحدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا جرير، عن مطرف، وابي، فروة الهمداني ح وحدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا يعقوب، - يعني ابن عبد الرحمن القاري - عن ابن عجلان، عن عبد الرحمن بن سعيد، كلهم عن الشعبي، عن النعمان بن بشير، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بهذا الحديث غير ان حديث زكرياء اتم من حديثهم واكثر

Nu'man b. Bashir b. Sa'd, a Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was heard delivering a sermon at Hims and was saying:I heard Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: The lawful is evident and the unlawful is evident, the rest of the hadith is the same as related by Zakariya

حدثنا عبد الملك بن شعيب بن الليث بن سعد، حدثني ابي، عن جدي، حدثني خالد، بن يزيد حدثني سعيد بن ابي هلال، عن عون بن عبد الله، عن عامر الشعبي، انه سمع نعمان بن بشير بن سعد، صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يخطب الناس بحمص وهو يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " الحلال بين والحرام بين " . فذكر بمثل حديث زكرياء عن الشعبي الى قوله " يوشك ان يقع فيه

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported that he was travelling on his camel which had grown jaded, and he decided to let it off. When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) met him and prayed for him and struck it, so it trotted as it had never trotted before. He said:Sell it to me for an 'uqaya. I said: No. He again said: Sell it to me. So I sold it to him for an 'uqaya, but made the stipulation that I should be allowed to ride back to my family. Then when I came to (my place) I took the camel to him and he paid me its price in ready money. I then went back and he sent: (someone) behind me (and as I came) he said: Do you see that I asked you to reduce price for buying your camel. Take your camel and your coins; these are yours

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا زكرياء، عن عامر، حدثني جابر بن عبد الله، انه كان يسير على جمل له قد اعيا فاراد ان يسيبه قال فلحقني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فدعا لي وضربه فسار سيرا لم يسر مثله قال " بعنيه بوقية " . قلت لا . ثم قال " بعنيه " . فبعته بوقية واستثنيت عليه حملانه الى اهلي فلما بلغت اتيته بالجمل فنقدني ثمنه ثم رجعت فارسل في اثري فقال " اتراني ماكستك لاخذ جملك خذ جملك ودراهمك فهو لك

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir through another chain of transmitters

وحدثناه علي بن خشرم، اخبرنا عيسى، - يعني ابن يونس - عن زكرياء، عن عامر، حدثني جابر بن عبد الله، بمثل حديث ابن نمير

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported:I went on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He overtook me and I was on a water-carrying camel who had grown tired and did not walk (trot). He (the Holy Prophet) said to me: What is the matter with your camel? I said: It is sick. He (the Holy Prophet) stepped behind and drove it and prayed for it, and then it always moved ahead of other camels. He (then) said: How do you find your camel? I said: It is, by the grace of your prayer, all right. He said: Would you sell this (camel) to me? I felt shy (to say him," No" ) as we had no other camel for carrying water, but (later on) I said: Yes, and to I sold it to him on the condition that (I would be permitted) to ride it until I reached Madina. I said to him: Allah's Messenger, I am newly married, so I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan). He permitted me, and I reached Medina well in advance of other people, until I reached my destination. There my maternal uncle met me and asked me about the camel, and I told him what I had done with regard to it. He reproved me in this connection. He (Jabir) said: When I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) inquired of me whether I had married a virgin or a non-virgin. I said to him: I have married a non-virgin. He said: Why did you not marry a virgin who would have played with you and you would have played with her? I said to him: Allah's Messenger, my father died (or he fell as a martyr), and I have small sisters to (look after), so I did not like the idea that I should marry a woman who is like them and thus be not able to teach them manners and look after them properly. So I have married a non-virgin so that she should be able to look after them and teach them manners, When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina, I went to him in the morning with the camel. He paid me its price and returned that (the camel) to me

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، - واللفظ لعثمان - قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال، عثمان حدثنا جرير، عن مغيرة، عن الشعبي، عن جابر بن عبد الله، قال غزوت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فتلاحق بي وتحتي ناضح لي قد اعيا ولا يكاد يسير قال فقال لي " ما لبعيرك " . قال قلت عليل - قال - فتخلف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فزجره ودعا له فمازال بين يدى الابل قدامها يسير . قال فقال لي " كيف ترى بعيرك " . قال قلت بخير قد اصابته بركتك . قال " افتبيعنيه " . فاستحييت ولم يكن لنا ناضح غيره قال فقلت نعم . فبعته اياه على ان لي فقار ظهره حتى ابلغ المدينة - قال - فقلت له يا رسول الله اني عروس فاستاذنته فاذن لي فتقدمت الناس الى المدينة حتى انتهيت فلقيني خالي فسالني عن البعير فاخبرته بما صنعت فيه فلامني فيه - قال - وقد كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لي حين استاذنته " ما تزوجت ابكرا ام ثيبا " . فقلت له تزوجت ثيبا . قال " افلا تزوجت بكرا تلاعبك وتلاعبها " . فقلت له يا رسول الله توفي والدي - او استشهد - ولي اخوات صغار فكرهت ان اتزوج اليهن مثلهن فلا تودبهن ولا تقوم عليهن فتزوجت ثيبا لتقوم عليهن وتودبهن - قال - فلما قدم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المدينة غدوت اليه بالبعير فاعطاني ثمنه ورده على

Jabir reported:We went from Mecca to Medina with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when my camel fell ill, and the rest of the hadith is the same. (But it in also narrated in it: ) He (the Holy Prophet) said to me: Sell your camel to me. I said: No, but it is yours. He said: No. (it can't be), but sell it to me. I said: No, but, Allah's Messenger, it is yours. He said: No, it can't be, but sell it to me. I said: Then give me an 'uqaya of gold for I owe that to a person and then it would be yours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: I take it (for an 'uqiya of gold) and you reach Medina on it. As I reached Medina, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Bilal: Give him an 'uqiya of gold and make some extra payment too. He (Jabir) said: He gave me an 'uqiya of gold and made an addition of a qirat. He (Jabir) said: The addition made by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was with me (as a sacred trust for belssing) and lay with me in a pocket until the people of Syria took it on the Day of Harra

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا جرير، عن الاعمش، عن سالم بن ابي الجعد، عن جابر، قال اقبلنا من مكة الى المدينة مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاعتل جملي . وساق الحديث بقصته وفيه ثم قال لي " بعني جملك هذا " . قال قلت لا بل هو لك . قال " لا بل بعنيه " . قال قلت لا بل هو لك يا رسول الله . قال " لا بل بعنيه " . قال قلت فان لرجل على اوقية ذهب فهو لك بها . قال " قد اخذته فتبلغ عليه الى المدينة " . قال فلما قدمت المدينة قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لبلال " اعطه اوقية من ذهب وزده " . قال فاعطاني اوقية من ذهب وزادني قيراطا - قال - فقلت لا تفارقني زيادة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال - فكان في كيس لي فاخذه اهل الشام يوم الحرة
