"نَهَى النَّبيُّ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْع ثَمَرِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ، فَقِيلَ لأنَسٍ مَا زهوُّهُ؟ قَالَ: يَحْمَرُّ أوْ يَصْفَرُّ".

The Prophet ﷺ 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."  

البخاري:٢١٩٧حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلًّى حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا وَعَنِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ قِيلَ وَمَا يَزْهُو قَالَ يَحْمَارُّ أَوْ يَصْفَارُّ

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

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ فَقُلْنَا لأَنَسٍ مَا زَهْوُهَا قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ أَرَأَيْتَكَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ

أحمد:١٢١٣٨حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ فَقَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرَةِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ قِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ مَا تَزْهُو؟ قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ
