Chapter: Waiving Payment in the case of Blight
Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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?
