Sahih al-Bukhari 2183, 2184 (Book 34, Hadith 131) #2094
Selling Fruits of Dates

SUMMARY: Do not sell fruits of dates until they are ripe and do not sell fresh dates for dry dates.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Messenger said, "Do not sell fruits of dates until they become free from all the dangers of being spoilt or blighted; and do not sell fresh dates for dry dates". Narrated Salim and 'Abdullah from Zaid bin Habit' "Later on Allah's Messenger permitted the selling of ripe fruits on trees for fresh dates or dried dates in Bai'-al-'Araya, and did not allow it for any other kind of sale".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَبِيعُوا الثَّمَرَ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهُ، وَلاَ تَبِيعُوا الثَّمَرَ بِالتَّمْرِ ‏"‏ قَالَ سَالِمٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَخَّصَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ بِالرُّطَبِ أَوْ بِالتَّمْرِ، وَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ فِي غَيْرِهِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Sell only ripe fruits from date trees

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about selling fruits of date trees. It teaches us that we should only sell the ripe fruit and never exchange fresh fruit with dried ones. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was very particular about this rule as he did not allow it for any other kind of sale except in Bai'-al-'Araya where he later allowed it. This hadith also teaches us to be mindful when trading goods as we should always make sure that what we are exchanging is fair and equal in value. We should also be aware that Allah will judge us on how we conduct our business dealings so it is important to always act with honesty and integrity when trading goods or services with others.
