Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ أَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ أَبَّرَ نَخْلاً ثُمَّ بَاعَ أَصْلَهَا، فَلِلَّذِي أَبَّرَ ثَمَرُ النَّخْلِ، إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَهُ الْمُبْتَاعُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Qutayba ibn Said narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Prophet said: “If anyone pollinates palm trees and then sells the trees, their fruit belongs to the one who pollinated them, unless the buyer stipulates that it be included.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic says the buyer stipulates the fruit as part of the purchase; it does not explicitly state seller agreement.
