3789 - وَ رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ بَيْعِ اَلثَّمَرَةِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ شِرَاؤُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ طَلْعُهَا فَقَالَ "لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ مَعَهَا شَيْئاً مِنْ غَيْرِهَا رَطْبَةً أَوْ بَقْلَةً فَيَقُولُ أَشْتَرِي مِنْكَ هَذِهِ اَلرَّطْبَةَ وَ هَذَا اَلنَّخْلَ وَ هَذَا اَلشَّجَرَ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَخْرُجِ اَلثَّمَرَةُ كَانَ رَأْسُ مَالِ اَلْمُشْتَرِي فِي اَلرَّطْبَةِ وَ اَلْبَقْلِ" قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ وَرَقِ اَلشَّجَرِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ شِرَاؤُهُ ثَلاَثَ خَرَطَاتٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَ خَرَطَاتٍ فَقَالَ "إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اَلْوَرَقَ فِي شَجَرَةٍ فَاشْتَرِ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ خَرْطَةٍ".
Hadith.3789 - Zur'ah narrated from Sama'ah, who said:
I asked him about selling fruits-whether it is permissible to buy them before their buds appear.
Imam 
said: "No, except if he buys something along with it, like fresh greens or vegetables, and says: 'I am buying these greens, this palm tree, and this tree for such and such price.'
If the fruit does not emerge, the buyer's capital will be in the greens and vegetables."
Imam was also asked about buying tree leaves, whether it is permissible to buy them for three or four harvests.
Imam said: "If you see the leaves on the tree, then buy as many harvests as you wish."
