English translation
2249, 2250. Narrated Abū Al-Bakhtārī: I asked Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنها about As-Salam for dates. Ibn 'Umar replied, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade the sale (of fruits) of date-palms until they were fit for eating; and also forbade the sale of silver for gold on credit." I also asked Ibn 'Abbās about it. Ibn 'Abbās replied, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade the sale of dates till they were fit for eating, and could be weighed." I asked him, "What is to be weighed (as the dates are on the trees)?" A man sitting by Ibn 'Abbās said, "It means till they are cut and stored."
