مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 186
Ḥumayd reported:
“Anas [ibn Mālik] was asked about the sale of fruit. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the sale of the dates of a palm tree until they begin to ripen (tuzhī).’ Anas was asked: ‘What is tuzhī?’ He said: ‘It turns reddish.’”

Musnad Aḥmad 186
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ، فَقَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرَةِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى تَزْهُوَ». قِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ: مَا تَزْهُو؟ قَالَ: «تَحْمَرُّ».

Chain: Aḥmad → Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān al-Baṣrī: thiqa mutqin, d. 198 AH. (2) Ḥumayd ibn Abī Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl al-Baṣrī: thiqa, d. 142 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (2195); Muslim (1555); al-Nasāʾī (4527); Aḥmad (12138). The prohibition on selling fruit before zuhūw, the first showing of ripeness, guards both parties against gharar, since fruit still green may be lost to blight or wind before it matures, leaving the buyer with a price paid for nothing and the seller with a dispute. That Anas was asked to define the term, and answered simply that it reddens, is itself a small illustration of how the Successors sought precision from the Companions.
