This hadith is listed as number 3977 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ : أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ " ، فَقُلْنَا لِأَنَسٍ : مَا زَهْوُهَا ؟ قَالَ : تَحْمَرُّ ، وَتَصْفَرُّ ، أَرَأَيْتَكَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ ، بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ ؟ .
Anas (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbade the sale of the fruit of date-palms until it becomes mellow. We (some of the other narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: What does the word" mellow" mean? He said: (There the fruit) turns red or yellow. Don't you see if Allah had checked (the growth of) fruits; then what for the wealth of your brother would be permissible for you?
