Sunan Abi Dawud 3364 (Book 23, Hadith 39) #23654
Permission to Sell 'Araya

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave permission to sell 'araya when the amount was less than five wasqs.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah gave license regarding the sale of 'araya when the amount was less then five wasqs or five wasqs. Dawud b. al-Husain was doubtful. Abu Dawud said: The tradition by Jabir indicates up to four wasqs.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَقَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ فِيمَا قَرَأَ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَاسْمُهُ قُزْمَانُ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرَايَا فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ أَوْ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ شَكَّ دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَوْسُقٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the permission given by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding the sale of ‘araya. ‘Araya is a type of goods that can be sold and exchanged for money. The Prophet allowed people to sell it when the amount was less than five wasqs. A wasq is a unit of measurement used in ancient times and it is equal to 60 sa’s which are equivalent to approximately 576 kilograms or 1270 pounds. This hadith teaches us that we should follow the rules set by our beloved prophet and not doubt them even if they seem strange or unusual at first glance. It also teaches us that we should always strive for justice in all our dealings with others, as this will bring us closer to Allah SWT and His mercy.
