Regarding Selling Crops Years In Advance
باب فِي بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ
Sunan Abu Dawood, Book of Commercial Transactions (Kitab Al-Buyu)(view book)
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
The Prophet ﷺ forbade selling fruits years ahead, and commanded that unforeseen loss be remitted in respect of what is affected by blight.
Abu Dawud said: The attribution of the tradition regarding the effect of blight is one-third of the produce to the Prophet ﷺ is not correct. This is the opinion of the people of Medina.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَتِيقٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ وَوَضَعَ الْجَوَائِحَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ لَمْ يَصِحَّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الثُّلُثِ شَىْءٌ وَهُوَ رَأْىُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ .

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah :
The Prophet ﷺ forbade sale of fruits for a number of years. One of the two narrators (Abu al-Zubair and Sa'id b. Mina') mentioned the words "sale for years" (bai' al-sinin instead of al-mu'awamah).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُعَاوَمَةِ وَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا بَيْعِ السِّنِينَ .
