حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ التَّمْرِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا لأَنَسٍ مَا زَهْوُهَا قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ

Narrated Humaid:Anas 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 Allah destroyed the fruits present on the trees, what right would the seller have to take the money of his brother (somebody else)?

Humaid bataate hain: Anas ne kaha: "Nabi ne khajoor ko tab tak bechne se mana kiya jab tak woh taqreeban pak na jaayen." Humne Anas se pucha: "'Taqreeban pak' ka kya matlab hai?" Unhone jawab diya: "Woh lal aur pele ho jaate hain." Nabi ne joda: "Agar Allah darakhton par lagI khajoor ko barbaad kar de, to bechne wale ko apne bhai (yaani doosre shaks) ka paisa lene ka kya haqq hoga?"
