4546. It was narrated from Sahl bin Abî Hathamah that the Prophet ﷺ forbade selling fruits before their condition was known, but he granted a concession allowing 'Arâyâ sales by estimate, so its people could eat fresh dates. (Sahih)

Arabic text

4542 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ، وَرَخَّصَ فِي الْعَرَايَا أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخِرْصِهَا يَأْكُلُهَا أَهْلُهَا رُطَبًا»

Commentary

'So that they could eat fresh dates': because the dates that are still on the trees would be acquired later.
