2217. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade selling fruits until they have changed the color, and selling grapes until they have turned black, and selling grains until they have hardened. (Da'if)
2217 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ، وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْعِنَبِ حَتَّى يَسْوَدَّ، وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْحَبِّ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ» بَابُ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ سِنِينَ وَالْجَائِحَةِ

Different crops, grains and fruits have different ways to be judged before they are sold. The raw fruit of an orchard is green and later its real color begins to appear gradually. At this time, the danger of waste is little, and to sell them is safe and lawful. The real objective of changing the color is to let them grow big enough until they are out of climatic danger.
