Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling dates on the tree until they become fit for eating, and likewise until they become fit for weighing. It was asked, "What does it mean to be fit for weighing?" So a person who was sitting near him said, "It means until it becomes such that it can be estimated."
