باب في النَّهْيِ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا:Chapter: Prohibition of Selling Fruits Before They Ripen
Hadith 2591
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: "نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهَا، نَهَى الْبَائِعَ وَالْمُشْتَرِيَ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of fruits before they ripen. He forbade both the seller and the buyer from this sale.
Brief Explanation
(The Explanation of Hadith 2590)
The meaning of the ripening of fruits is that redness or yellowness appears in them and the capability of ripening becomes evident; at this time, their buying and selling is permissible, but not before this.
Qastallani rahimahullah said: In every thing, the manifestation of its capability of ripening «حَتَّي يَبْدُوَ صَلَاحُهَا» means that the quality which is predominantly sought after becomes present in it.
From this hadith, it is understood that selling unripe fruits and produce is prohibited; only when signs of ripening appear is it correct to sell fruits, because it is possible that an unripe fruit or produce may develop some disease and the buyer may suffer a loss.
