كتاب البيوع

Arabic Text

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَالْعَرِيَّةُ النَّخْلَةُ تُجْعَلُ لِلْقَوْمِ فَيَبِيعُونَهَا بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا ‏.‏

English Translation

Yahya b. Sa'id reported this hadith with the same chain of transmitters but with this change:

'Ariyya implies that date-palm trees should be donated to the people and then they sell it with a measure of dry dates.
