One who sells date palms on which there are dates

باب مَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلاً عَلَيْهَا ثَمَرٌ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 1543a
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ .
"‏ مَنْ بَاعَ نَخْلاً قَدْ أُبِّرَتْ فَثَمَرَتُهَا لِلْبَائِعِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ ‏"
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

If anyone buys palm-trees after they have been fecundated the fruit belongs to the seller unless the buyer makes a proviso.
