If somebody bought fruits before their benefit is evident and then the fruits were spoiled with blights, the loss would be suffered by the owner (not the buyer). Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah from Ibn Umar: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not sell or buy fruits before their benefit was evident and do not sell fresh fruits (dates) for dried dates."
لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً ابْتَاعَ ثَمَرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهُ ثُمَّ أَصَابَتْهُ عَاهَةٌ كَانَ مَا أَصَابَهُ عَلَى رَبِّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَتَبَايَعُوا الثَّمَرَ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا وَلاَ تَبِيعُوا الثَّمَرَ بِالتَّمْرِ
