Hadith 3366
Chapter 1267: Regarding The Explanation Of 'Araya - كتاب البيوع
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ الْعَرَايَا أَنْ يَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ، لِلرَّجُلِ النَّخَلاَتِ فَيَشُقَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَيْهَا فَيَبِيعَهَا بِمِثْلِ خَرْصِهَا .
Ibn Ishaq said:
'Araya means that a man lends another man some palm-trees, but he (the owner) feels inconvenient that the man looks after the trees (by frequent visits). He (the borrower) sells them (to the owner) by calculation.
