Sunan an-Nasai 4543 (Book 44, Hadith 95) #19076
The Prohibition of Muzabanah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad forbade the sale of fresh dates still on the tree for dried dates, except in cases of 'Araya.

Rafi bin Khadij and Sahl Bi Abi Hathamah narrated that the Messenger of Allah forbade Muzabanah, which means selling fresh dates still on the tree for dried dates, except in cases of 'Araya, for which he gave permission. (Sahih
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي بُشَيْرُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ، وَسَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ بَيْعُ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ إِلاَّ لأَصْحَابِ الْعَرَايَا فَإِنَّهُ أَذِنَ لَهُمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous with those who are in need; Help out those who cannot wait until they have enough money to purchase something; Do not take advantage of people's neediness or desperation by charging them more than what is fair and just; Follow Islamic teachings regarding trade practices; Respect others' rights even if they are desperate or needy; Treat others fairly regardless their financial status.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of a practice called Muzabanah. It is a type of sale where fresh dates still on the tree are exchanged for dried dates. However, this practice was allowed in cases of 'Araya, which means when someone needs to buy something urgently and cannot wait until they have enough money to purchase it. In such cases, it was permissible to exchange fresh dates for dried ones. This hadith teaches us that we should not take advantage of people's neediness or desperation by charging them more than what is fair and just. We should also be generous with those who are in need and help them out whenever possible without taking advantage of their situation.
