حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَجْرَانِيٍّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَسْلَفَ رَجُلًا فِي نَخْلٍ ، فَلَمْ تُخْرِجْ تِلْكَ السَّنَةَ شَيْئًا ، فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَهُ ارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ مَالَهُ ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَا تُسْلِفُوا فِي النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهُ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: A man paid in advance for a palm-tree. It did not bear fruit that year. They brought their case for decision to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: for which do you make his property lawful? He then said: Do not pay in advance for a palm-tree till they (the fruits) were clearly in good condition.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
However, the ruling remains that if the trader is unable to provide the required goods, then only the received price will be returned.
➋
The advance sale (bay‘ salam) of a specific tree or orchard has been prohibited because there is an aspect of harm in it.
It is not known whether it will bear fruit or not,
or whether the yield will be little or much. Therefore, the transaction should be general and not specific.
