قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ لِي نَخْلًا بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَأَبِيعُهُ وَ أُسَمِّي الثَّمَنَ وَ أَسْتَثْنِي الْكُرَّ مِنَ التَّمْرِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ أَوِ الْعِذْقَ مِنَ النَّخْلِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ بَيْعُ السَّنَتَيْنِ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ ذَا عِنْدَنَا عَظِيمٌ قَالَ أَمَّا إِنَّكَ إِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَحَلَّ ذَلِكَ فَتَظَالَمُوا فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) لَا تُبَاعُ الثَّمَرَةُ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazal Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Rabie who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘There is a palm tree for me at Al-Basra. So I sell it, and I name (determine) the fruits, and exclude Al-Kurra (a unit of measurement) from the fruits, or more, or a cluster of the dates’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! Can I sell it (yield) for the two years?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! That is a great matter among us’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But you, if you are saying that, so Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> had Permitted that, but they were unjust to each other, so he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘You must not buy it until fruits appear and are out of danger (of dying)’.
