Sunan an-Nasai 4542 (Book 44, Hadith 94) #19075
Selling Fruits by Estimate

SUMMARY: The Prophet forbade selling fruits before their condition was known, but granted a concession allowing 'Araya sales by estimate.

It was narrated from Sahl bin Abi Hathamah that the Prophet forbade selling fruits before their condition was known, but he granted a concession allowing 'Araya sales by estimate, so its people could eat fresh dates.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهُ وَرَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخَرْصِهَا يَأْكُلُهَا أَهْلُهَا رُطَبًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow rules and regulations set forth by the Prophet (ﷺ) when selling or buying fruits.
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that it is not permissible to sell fruits before knowing their condition. However, he granted a concession allowing people to make 'Araya sales by estimate so they can eat fresh dates. This means that if someone wants to buy fruit, they can estimate the amount of fruit they want and pay for it without having to inspect each piece of fruit first. This allows people to enjoy fresh dates while still being mindful of the rules set forth by the Prophet ﷺ.
