Malik narrated it in "Sales" (11), from Humayd Tawil, from Anas bin Malik, who related it as mentioned. Bukhari narrated it in "Sales" (2198), and Muslim in "Musaqat" (1555), both through the route of Malik, with the same wording. Muslim confirmed this in his narration from Muhammad bin Abbad, from Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad, from Humayd, from Anas, that the Prophet ﷺ said, "If Allah does not make it bear fruit, on what basis would any of you take his brother's property?" indicating that the statement "Have you considered, if Allah withholds..." is part of the raised hadith.However, Abu Hatim and Abu Zura, after Abdul-Rahman asked them about a hadith narrated by Muhammad bin Abbad, from Abdul-Aziz Darawardi, from Humayd, from Anas bin Malik, that the Prophet ﷺ said, "If Allah does not make it bear fruit, on what basis would any of you take his brother's property?" said, "This is a mistake, it is actually the speech of Anas." Abu Zura said, "This is how Darawardi and Malik bin Anas narrate it, as a raised hadith, while people generally narrate it as stopped, from the speech of Anas." End of quote, from "Ilal" (1/378-379).Daraqutni likewise said in "Tatabbu" (pp. 475-478), "A group has differed from Malik, among them Ismail bin Jafar, Ibn Mubarak, Hushaym, Marwan, Yazid bin Harun, and others. They said in it, Anas said, 'Have you considered, if Allah withholds the fruit'." He also cited the hadith of Ismail bin Jafar, from Humayd, in which he separated the speech of Anas from the speech of the Prophet ﷺ. As for the narration of Ibn Abbad, he said that he omitted the speech of the Prophet ﷺ and brought the speech of Anas instead, raising it to the Prophet ﷺ. This is a grave mistake. End of quote.Bayhaqi (5/300) mentioned Sufyan Thawri among those who narrated it as stopped at Anas, and said, "Malik bin Anas made it part of the speech of the Prophet ﷺ, and Darawardi followed him in that, through the narration of Muhammad bin Abbad from him." End of quote.Ibn Abdul-Barr responded to all of these in "Tamhid" (2/190-191), saying, "Some people claim that it is the speech of Anas bin Malik, but this is false, given what Malik and other memorizers of hadith have narrated regarding this hadith, as they made it a raised statement from the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Zubayr has also narrated something similar from Jabir, from the Prophet ﷺ."As for Ibn Hajar, he said in "Talkhis" (3/28), "I have explained in 'Mudraj' that this sentence is stopped, from the speech of Anas, and that raising it is an error, and the explanation is with Muslim." However, he said in "Fath al-Bari" (4/398-399), after quoting the critique of Abu Hatim, Abu Zura, and Daraqutni, "None of what has preceded prevents the explanatory portion from being part of the raised hadith, because the one who raised it added something beyond what is found with the one who stopped it, and there is nothing in the narration of the one who stopped it that negates the statement of the one who raised it. Muslim has narrated, through the route of Abu Zubayr from Jabir, something that supports the raised version of the hadith of Anas, its wording being, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If you sold fruit to your brother and it was struck by a calamity, it is not lawful for you to take anything from it. On what basis would you take your brother's property without right?'" End of quote.As for the hadith of Jabir bin Abdullah, it will come next. The hadith also has another route, narrated by Abu Dawud (3371), Tirmidhi (1228), and Ibn Majah (2217), and Ibn Hibban (4993) and Hakim (2/19) graded it sahih, all of them through the route of Hammad bin Salama, from Humayd Tawil, with the wording, "The selling of grapes was forbidden until they turn black, and the selling of grain until it hardens." Some added, "and the selling of fruit until it ripens." Tirmidhi said, "hasan gharib." Hakim said, "sahih according to the standard of Muslim."However, Bayhaqi (5/303) found fault with it on grounds that are not actually a fault, saying, "This hadith was narrated solely by Hammad bin Salama from Humayd, among all of Humayd's companions..."I say, Hammad bin Salama is trustworthy, so his being the sole narrator does not harm the hadith. Imam Ahmad said, "Hammad bin Salama is the most knowledgeable of people regarding the hadith of Humayd, and the most accurate in transmitting it." He also said, "He is the most firmly grounded of people in the hadith of Humayd Tawil, having heard from him early on, and he differs from other people in his hadith." For someone like this, even if he is the sole narrator, it does not harm the hadith, and the hadith of Ibn Umar supports this additional wording. For more, see "Minna Kubra" (4/87-88).
