Explanation of the Book of Sales-19

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "And from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said:
Whoever buys a date-palm tree after it has been pollinated من ابتاع نخلاً بعد أن تؤبر
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4636
"
:
"Ibtā'a" means to buy, and "bā'a" means to sell. Or shall I say: "bā'a" means to sell, right? "Bā'a" means to sell, and "ibtā'a" means to buy. Correct, yes.
"Bā'a" means to sell, and an example of this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And of the people is he who sells himself, seeking means to the approval of Allah ومن الناس من يرشي نفسه ابتغاء مرضات الله
[Al-Baqarah 2:207]
: "Yashrī" means to sell.
Now, regarding his saying:
Whoever buys a date-palm tree after it has been pollinated من ابتاع نخلاً بعد أن تؤبر
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4636
date palms: Is the intended meaning the date palm tree itself, or is the intended meaning the fruit of the date palm?
The intended meaning is the tree itself, the date palm tree. That is, a man sold his date palms. And his saying:
after they have been pollinated بعد أن تؤبر
: means after pollination, and pollination is the act of fertilization.
their fruit belongs to the seller فثمرتها للبائع

unless the buyer makes a proviso إلا أن يشترط المبتاع
Sunan Abi Dawud 3435Sahih (Al-Albani)
: "Yashartu" means he stipulates that this pollinated fruit belongs to him. If he stipulated that and the seller relinquished it, then the right belongs to him. There is no harm. There is no harm. Pay attention, everyone, this is the meaning of the hadith.
