QUICK LESSONS:
Wait until a fruit is ripe before selling it; Respect nature's cycles; Ensure quality over quantity when buying/selling goods; Follow teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of waiting for fruits to be ripe before selling them. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that it was wrong to sell unripe fruits, as they are not ready yet and may not taste good or be beneficial to the buyer. He also said that when a fruit is ripe, it should be red in color. This teaches us that we should always wait for things to be ready before we try to use them or sell them, so that we can get the best results from our efforts. It also teaches us patience and respect for nature's cycles, as some things take time to grow and mature properly before they can be used or enjoyed.
