The Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden the sale of dates till they were good (ripe), and when it was asked what it
meant, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Till there is no danger of blight."

← Previous Hadith
Dates used to be brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) immediately after being plucked. Different persons would
bring their dates till a big heap collected (in front of the Prophet). Once Al-Hasan and Al-Husain were
playing with these dates. One of them took a date and put it in his mouth. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) looked at
him and took it out from his mouth and said, "Don't you know that Muhammad's offspring do not eat
what is given in charity?"
