سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى بُسْتَاناً فِيهِ نَخْلٌ وَ شَجَرٌ مِنْهُ مَا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ وَ مِنْهُ مَا لَمْ يُطْعِمْ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِ مَا قَدْ أَطْعَمَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى بُسْتَاناً فِيهِ نَخْلٌ لَيْسَ فِيهِ غَيْرُ بُسْرٍ أَخْضَرَ فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الزَّهْوُ قَالَ حَتَّى يَتَلَوَّنَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husay Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Jowhary, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bought an orchard wherein were palm trees, and trees from it were what could be eaten from, and from it were (trees) what could not be eaten from. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it if therein were (trees) what could be eaten from’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bought an orchard wherein were palm trees, there was not on it apart from green (unripened dates)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, until they splendour’. I said, ‘And what is the splendour?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Until they colour’.
