Sahih Muslim 1537 (Book 21, Hadith 72) #11000
The Sale of Dates According to the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade the sale of dates until they are ripe and ready to be eaten or weighed.

Abu Bakhtari reported: I asked Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) about the sale of dates. He said: Allah's Messenger forbade the sale of dates of the trees until one eats them or they are eaten (i. e. they are fit to be eaten) or until they are weighed (or measured). I said: What does it imply:" Until it is weighed"? Thereupon a person who was with him (Ibn Abbas) said: Until he is able to keep it with him (after plucking them).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ بَيْعِ النَّخْلِ، فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ بَيْعِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ أَوْ يُؤْكَلَ وَحَتَّى يُوزَنَ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا يُوزَنُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَحْزَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the sale of dates according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He forbade selling dates until they are ripe and ready to be eaten or weighed. This means that one should not sell them before they are fully grown and can be enjoyed by people who eat them or weighed for those who want to buy them in bulk. It also implies that one should not pick them off a tree before they are ready, as this would mean that someone else would not get a chance to enjoy their sweetness when they ripen. This hadith teaches us about being considerate towards others and ensuring fairness in our dealings with others, even when it comes something as small as selling dates!
