Sahih al-Bukhari 2197 (Book 34, Hadith 144) #2107
Selling Fruits and Date Palms

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the sale of fruits and date palms until they are almost ripe.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet forbade the sale of fruits till their benefit is evident; and the sale of date palms till the dates are almost ripe. He was asked what 'are almost ripe' meant. He replied, "Got red and yellow".
حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلًّى، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا، وَعَنِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ‏.‏ قِيلَ وَمَا يَزْهُو قَالَ يَحْمَارُّ أَوْ يَصْفَارُّ‏.‏

This teaches us to be patient in our dealings with others, as we should not rush into selling something before it has reached its full potential. It also teaches us to be mindful of our actions, as we should not take advantage of someone else's lack of knowledge or experience in a certain area. We should always strive for fairness in all our dealings with others.
