Forbidden Practice of Selling Produce

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad forbade the practice of selling produce while it is still on the trees, vines, or in the fields.

It was narrated that Ibn 'umar said: "The Messenger of Allah forbade Muzabanah, which refers to when a man sells the dates of his grove while they are still on the trees, for a measure of dry on the tree, for a measure of dry dates, estimating the amount( of dates on the trees). Or, if it is grapes, he sells them when they are still on the vines, for a measure of raisins, estimating the amount (of grapes on the vines). Or if it is grain in the field, he sells it for grain that has been harvested, estimating the amount (of grain in the fields). He forbade all of that"".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ أَنْ يَبِيعَ ثَمَرَ حَائِطِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ نَخْلاً بِتَمْرٍ كَيْلاً وَإِنْ كَانَ كَرْمًا أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِزَبِيبٍ كَيْلاً وَإِنْ كَانَ زَرْعًا أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ بِكَيْلِ طَعَامٍ نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Wait until your produce has been harvested before selling it

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Ibn 'umar states that Prophet Muhammad forbade a certain practice known as Muzabanah. This refers to when a person sells their produce such as dates, grapes, or grain while they are still on the trees, vines, or in the field. This means that they would estimate how much produce was there and then sell it for a measure of dry dates or raisins instead. Prophet Muhammad forbid this practice and encouraged people to wait until their produce was harvested before selling it. This teaches us to be patient and not rush into things without thinking them through properly first. It also teaches us to be honest in our dealings with others and not try to take advantage of them by estimating an amount that is higher than what is actually there.
