حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ ، وَمَا ذُكِرَ فِي ذَلِكَ . فَقَالَ : كَانَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَبَايَعُونَ الثِّمَارَ ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهَا ، فَإِذَا جَدَّ النَّاسُ ، وَحَضَرَ تَقَاضِيهِمْ ، قَالَ : الْمُبْتَاعُ قَدْ أَصَابَ الثَّمَرَ الدُّمَانُ ، وَأَصَابَهُ قُشَامٌ ، وَأَصَابَهُ مُرَاضٌ ، عَاهَاتٌ ، يَحْتَجُّونَ بِهَا ، فَلَمَّا كَثُرَتْ خُصُومَتُهُمْ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَالْمَشُورَةِ يُشِيرُ بِهَا فَإِمَّا لَا فَلَا تَتَبَايَعُوا الثَّمَرَةَ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهَا ، لِكَثْرَةِ خُصُومَتِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ " .
Yunus said: I asked Abu Zinad about the sale of fruits before they were clearly in good condition, and what was said about it. He replied: Urwah ibn az-Zubayr reports a tradition from Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah on the authority of Zayd ibn Thabit who said: The people used to sell fruits before they were clearly in good condition. When the people cut off the fruits, and were demanded to pay the price, the buyer said: The fruits have been smitten by duman, qusham and murad fruit diseases on which they used to dispute. When their disputes which were brought to the Prophet ﷺ increased, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them as an advice: No, do not sell fruits till they are in good condition, due to a large number of their disputes and differences.
