And among its benefits: the permissibility, indeed the obligation, of asking about a word whose meaning is not clear except by asking, because they asked Anas ibn Malik about the term "ripening" and he explained it to them.
And among its benefits: it is not permissible to sell date palms until they turn red or yellow, but this applies to those that turn red or yellow. As for some date palms that remain green but still bear fruit, it is sufficient in their case that they are good.
