Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرَةِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ قِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ مَا تَزْهُو قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, from Humayd, who said: Anas was asked about selling fruit, and he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade selling the fruit of date-palms before it ripened. Anas was asked, "What is meant by ripening?" He said, "That it turns red."
