حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ حَتَّى تُزْهِيَ " ، قَالُوا : وَمَا تُزْهِيَ ؟ قَالَ : تَحْمَرُّ ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ ، فَبِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ ؟ .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the sale of fruits until these are mellow. They (the companions of Anas) said: What is meant by" mellow"? He said: It implies that these became red. He said: When Allah hinders the growth of fruits, (then) what for the wealth of your brother would become permissible for you?
