bayhaqi:10596Abū ʿAmr al-Adīb > Abū Bakr al-Ismāʿīlī

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade selling palm fruits until they become ripe. I asked Anas, "What does it mean for the fruits to become ripe?" He said, "They turn red and yellow." I said, "What if Allah withholds the fruit, how will your brother earn money?"  

البيهقي:١٠٥٩٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي الصُّوفِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أنا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ وَمَا زَهْوُهَا؟ قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إنْ مَنَعَ اللهُ الثَّمَرَةَ فَبِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ؟  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةَ وَغَيْرِهِمَا

Anas said, "The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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)?' "

What does the word" mellow" mean? He said: (There the fruit) turns red or yellow. Don't you see if Allah had checked (the growth of) fruits; then what for the wealth of your brother would be permissible for you?  

مسلم:١٥٥٥aحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
