Al-Kafi 8785

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman, form Al Halby who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws was asked about buying the palm tree and the orchard, and the fruits for the next three years or four years. He^asws said: ‘There is no problem with it. They are saying that if these do not come out in this year, they would come in the following year, and if it is bought in one year, so do not buy it until it ripens. So if it is bought for three years before the ripening, so there is no problem’. And he^asws was asked about the man who buys the fruits of the season from a land, so all of the fruits of that particular land perish. So he^asws said: ‘They had disputed regarding that to Rasool-Allah^saww and they were mentioning that. So when he^saww saw them that they are not leaving the dispute, he^saww forbade them from that transaction until the fruits ripened, and he^saww did no Prohibit it, but he^saww did that due to the reason of their dispute’.
