It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling dates that are still on the trees in exchange for cut (harvested) dates. Then Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) informed them that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted this in the case of "Ariya."
