Distribution of Water
42/17. Chapter:
To pass through a garden or to have a share in datepalms
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلاً بَعْدَ أَنْ تُؤَبَّرَ فَثَمَرَتُهَا لِلْبَائِعِ». فَلِلْبَائِعِ الْمَمَرُّ وَالسَّقْيُ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ وَكَذَلِكَ رَبُّ الْعَرِيَّةِ.The Prophet ﷺ said, "If somebody sells date-palms after pollinating them, their fruits will be for him and he has the right to enter the garden and irrigate the date-palms till he reaps the fruits. The owner of 'Ariya has a similar right."
Sahih Bukhari
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ قَالَ رَخَّصَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ تُبَاعَ الْعَرَايَا بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا.
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: The Prophet (ﷺ) permitted selling the dates of the 'Araya for ready dates by estimating the amount of the former (as they are still on the trees).
