Chapter 24 · The Book Of Musaqahحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ»، فَقُلْنَا لِأَنَسٍ: مَا زَهْوُهَا؟ قَالَ: «تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ، أَرَأَيْتَكَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ.

Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade the sale of the fruit of date-palms until it becomes mellow. We (some of the other narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: What does the word mellow mean? He said: (There the fruit) turns red or yellow. Don't you see if Allah had checked (the growth of) fruits; then what for the wealth of your brother would be permissible for you?
