Chapter: Those who said: A loss from a natural calamity is not remitted
Bayhaqi 10623 — Those who said: A loss from a natural calamity
رُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ وَقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَرُوِيَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّهُ بَاعَ حَائِطًا لَهُ فَأَصَابَتْ مُشْتَرِيَهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَأَخَذَ الثَّمَنَ مِنْهُ، وَلَا أَدْرِي أَثَبَتَ أَمْ لَا؟.
This is narrated from Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him).
And Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he sold a garden of his, then its buyer was struck by a calamity (on the fruit), and he took the price from him; and I do not know whether this (report) is established or not."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ الْعَدْلُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى تُزْهَى، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا تُزْهَى؟ قَالَ: " حِينَ تَحْمَرُّ " وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا مَنَعَ اللهُ الثَّمَرَةَ، فَبِمَ يَأْخُذُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَالَ أَخِيهِ؟ " أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ كَمَا مَضَى ذِكْرُهُ..
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling fruits before they ripen. It was asked: What is its ripening? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When they turn red." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think: when Allah withholds the fruit, then why do you consider your brother's wealth permissible?"
