Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ صَلاَحُهَا، نَهَى الْبَائِعَ وَالْمُبْتَاعَ‏.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Yusuf informed us: Malik informed us, from Nafi, from Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah forbade selling fruits until their ripeness became evident. He forbade both the seller and the buyer from doing so.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic explicitly applies the prohibition to both parties to the sale.
