Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَاعَ الْمُدَبَّرَ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade selling fruits until they show their quality. He was asked: 'What does showing their quality mean?' He said: 'Until they turn red.' Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'If Allah prevents the fruits (from ripening due to blight), with what right would any of you take the wealth of his brother?'
