Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 3851 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the sale
وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ ، قُلْنَا : وَمَا زَهْوُهُ ؟ قَالَ : تَحْمَرُّ . قَالَ أَنَسٌ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللهُ النَّخْلَ ، بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ ؟ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of fruits until they take on colour. We asked: "What is meant by taking on colour?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That they turn red." And Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said (explaining the wisdom of this prohibition): "What do you think: if Allah Almighty were to stop the date palms (from bearing fruit), for what would you consider your brother's money lawful for yourself?"
