The meaning of haqila, muzabana, ‘araya, mukhabarat, mukhadhara, munabadha, mulamasa, the selling of pebble and other things that were declared forbidden

۞
He, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, also forbade munabadha, mulamasa and the selling of pebble. With regards to each one of them, there are two opinions. As for munabadha, it is said: It is that a man says to his companion: «Throw me the robe» - or another merchandise – or «I will throw it to you, and the sale has become obliged (to be executed) by such-and-such». It is also said: It is only that a man says: «If the pebbles are thrown (for sale), the sale has become obliged. That is the meaning of his saying that he forbade the selling of pebbles. Mulamasa is that you say: «If you touch my robe, or I touch your robe, the sale has become obliged by such-and-such». It is also said: Rather, it is that one touches the merchandise from behind the robe by which it is not looked upon, and that the sale is performed on the basis of that. These sales were carried out by the people of the Jahiliya, and so the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, forbade them because they were all deceptions.
ونهى صلى الله عليه وآله عن المنابذة والملامسة وبيع الحصاة. ففي كل واحدة منها قولان، أما المنابذة فيقال: إنها أن يقول الرجل لصاحبه: انبذ إلي الثوب أو غيره من المتاع أو أنبذه إليك وقد وجب البيع بكذا وكذا. ويقال: إنما هو أن يقول الرجل: إذا نبذت الحصاة فقد وجب البيع وهو معنى قوله أنه نهى عن بيع الحصاة. والملامسة أن تقول: إذا لمست ثوبي أو لمست ثوبك فقد وجب البيع بكذا وكذا. ويقال: بل هو أن يلمس المتاع من وراء الثوب ولا ينظر إليه فيقع البيع على ذلك وهذه بيوع كان أهل الجاهلية يتبايعونها فنهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عنها لأنها غرر كلها.
