‘Abdallah b. ‘Umar said that God's Messenger forbade the sale of fruits till they were clearly in good condition, forbidding it both to the seller and to the buyer. A version by Muslim says he forbade selling palm-trees (i.e. their fruit) till the dates began to ripen, and ears of corn till they were white and were safe from blight. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Anas said that God’s Messenger forbade the sale of fruits till tuzhiya. He was asked what that meant and said it meant till they became red, adding,“Tell me:when God keeps back the fruit, why should any of you take his brother’s property?”(Bukhari and Muslim.)

Jabir said that God's Messenger forbade selling fruit years ahead, and commanded that unforeseen loss be remitted in respect of what is affected by blight. Muslim transmitted it.

He reported God's Messenger as saying,“If you were to sell something to your brother and it was smitten by blight it would not be allowable for you to take anything from him. Why should you take your brother's property unjustly?”Muslim transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Umar said they used to buy grain in the upper part of the market and sell it in the same spot, but God’s Messenger forbade them to sell it there before removing it. Abu Dawud transmitted it. I have not found it in the two Sahihs.

He reported God's Messenger as saying,“If anyone buys grain he must not sell it till he has received it in full.”

A version by Ibn ‘Abbas has, “till he measures it out.”Bukhari and Muslim.

Ibn ‘Abbas said what the Prophet forbade was that grain should be sold before it had been received. Ibn ‘Abbas said,“I do not think this applies to every commodity, but only to things of that type.”(Bukhari and Muslim.)

Abu Huraira reported God's Messenger.as saying,“Do not go out to meet riders to conduct business with them; none of you must buy in opposition to one another1, nor must you bid against one another; a townsman must not sell for a man from the desert; and do not tie up the udders of camels and sheep, for he who buys them after that has been done has two courses open to him after milking them:he may keep them if he is pleased with them, and may return them along with a sa‘ of dates if he is displeased with them.”A version by Muslim has,“If anyone buys a sheep whose udder has been tied up he has three days in which to decide whether to keep it or not; but if he returns it he must return with it a sa’ of any grain but wheat.”2 (Bukhari and Muslim.) 1. When agreement has obviously been reached, although the contract has not been confirmed, no one must step in and offer a higher price. 2. Samra’. The full pharse is hinta samra’, meaning "tawny wheat" ; then the adjective is used by itself as a word for wheat.

He reported God’s Messenger as saying,“Do not go out to meet what is being brought [to market for sale] . If anyone does so and buys some of it, when its owner comes to the market he has the choice [of cancelling the deal] .* * He may find he could have a higher price in the market, and so he has the right to cancel the deal. Muslim transmitted it.
