Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1038 — If fruits are sold before ripening

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade selling fruits before they reach “zuhw.” It was asked, “What is ‘zuhw’?” He said, “When they become red.” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Tell me! If Allah Almighty destroys the fruits, then for what does one of you take his brother’s wealth?”
