It was narrated to me by Abu al-Tahir: Ibn Wahb informed us: Malik ibn Anas informed me, from Dawud ibn al-Husayn, that Abu Sufyan, the freed slave of Ibn Abi Ahmad, informed him that he heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade al-muzabanah and al-muhaqalah. Al-muzabanah is the purchase of fruit while it is still on the tops of the palm trees, and al-muhaqalah is the renting of land.
