Sahih Muslim 1543c (Book 21, Hadith 102) #11030
Grafting Trees and Ownership of Fruits

SUMMARY: Whoever grafts a tree and sells it, the fruit of the tree will belong to the one who grafted it unless otherwise specified by the buyer.

Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Apostle as saying: Whosoever grafts the tree and then sells its roots, its fruit will belong to one who grafts it except when provision is laid down by the buyer.
وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ أَبَّرَ نَخْلاً ثُمَّ بَاعَ أَصْلَهَا فَلِلَّذِي أَبَّرَ ثَمَرُ النَّخْلِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be fair in business transactions
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about grafting trees and who owns the fruits that come from them. It teaches us that if someone grafts a tree, then they own its fruits unless otherwise specified by the buyer. This means that if someone buys a grafted tree, they can decide whether or not they want to keep all of its fruits for themselves or share them with whoever grafted it in the first place. The hadith also teaches us about fairness in business transactions; buyers should be clear about what they are buying and sellers should be honest about what is being sold so both parties know exactly what to expect from each other.
