حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ الْعَاهَةُ قُلْتُ وَمَتَى ذَاكَ قَالَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الثُّرَيَّا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5105
It was narrated that 'Uthmaan ibn 'Abdullah ibn Suraaqah said: I asked Ibn Umar about selling crops and he said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade selling crops until the (risk) of blight has passed. I said: When is that? He said: When the Pleiades appear.
