Sahih al-Bukhari 2208 (Book 34, Hadith 154) #2117
Selling Dates Before Ripe is Forbidden

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the selling of dates until they were almost ripe, and warned against taking money from someone else if Allah destroyed the fruits present on the trees.

Narrated Humaid: Anas said, "The Prophet forbade the selling of dates till they were almost ripe". We asked Anas, "What does 'almost ripe' mean?" He replied, "They get red and yellow. The Prophet added, 'If Allah destroyed the fruits present on the trees, what right would the seller have to take the money of his brother (somebody else)?' "
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ التَّمْرِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا لأَنَسٍ مَا زَهْوُهَا قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a prohibition given by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding selling dates before they are ripe. He said that it was not permissible to sell dates until they were almost ripe, which means that they should be red and yellow in color. He also warned against taking money from someone else if Allah destroyed the fruits present on the trees. This hadith teaches us to be honest in our dealings with others and not take advantage of them when we are trading goods or services. It also reminds us to be mindful of Allah's power over all things and how He can take away what we have at any time. We should always strive to do what is right even when no one is watching us because ultimately, Allah will judge our actions in this life and reward us accordingly in the hereafter.
