حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ التَّمْرِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ. فَقُلْنَا لأَنَسٍ مَا زَهْوُهَا قَالَ تَحْمَرُّ وَتَصْفَرُّ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَنَعَ اللَّهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ تَسْتَحِلُّ مَالَ أَخِيكَ

বাংলা অনুবাদ
আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম পাকার পূর্বে ফল বিক্রি নিষেধ করেছেন। (রাবী বলেন) আমরা আনাস (রাঃ)-কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, ফল পাকার অর্থ কী? তিনি বললেন, লালচে বা হলদে হওয়া। [আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন] বলত, আল্লাহ তা‘আলা যদি ফল নষ্ট করে দেন, তবে কিসের বদলে তোমার ভাইয়ের মাল গ্রহণ করবে?
