3372. Yūnus said: "I asked Abū Az-Zīnād about selling crops before they are ripe and what was said about that. He said: "Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated from Sahl
bin Abī Ḥathmah, that Zaid bin Thābit said: "The people used to sell crops before they were ripe, then when the people harvested the crop and payment was demanded, the buyer would say: 'It has been stricken with Dumān, or Qushām or Murād' – types of blight concerning which they disputed. When many disputes were referred to the Prophet ﷺ, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, as if offering advice: 'No, do not sell crops until they have ripened' because there were too many disputes and differences among them.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
