Ibn Ishaq said:'Araya means that a man lends another man some palm-trees, but he (the owner) feels inconvenient that the man looks after the trees (by frequent visits). He (the borrower) sells them (to the owner) by calculation.
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ الْعَرَايَا أَنْ يَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ، لِلرَّجُلِ النَّخَلاَتِ فَيَشُقَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَيْهَا فَيَبِيعَهَا بِمِثْلِ خَرْصِهَا .
