2208. Narrated Humaid: Anas رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade the selling of dates till they were almost ripe." We asked Anas, "What does 'almost ripe' mean?" He replied, "They get red and yellow. The Prophet ﷺ added, 'If Allāh destroyed the fruits present on the trees, what right would the seller have to take the money of his brother (somebody else)?"

Arabic text

2208 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ التَّمْرِ حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ»، فَقُلْنَا لِأَنَسٍ: مَا زَهْوُهَا؟ قَالَ: «تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ»
