رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 2197. Narrated Anas bin Mālik: The Prophet ﷺ forbade the sale of fruits till their benefit is evident; and the sale of date-palms till the dates are almost ripe. He was asked what 'are almost ripe' meant. He replied, "Got red and yellow."
2197 - حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الهَيْثَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا، وَعَنِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ»، قِيلَ: وَمَا يَزْهُو؟ قَالَ: «يَحْمَارُّ أَوْ يَصْفَارُّ»
