Al-Jawhari neglected it.

وقال ابن الأثير: أي (شقحها)

And Ibn al-Athir said: meaning 'it ripened it'.

كذا في النسخ والصواب شقح، فإنه لازم غير متعد

Thus it is in the manuscripts, and the correct reading is 'shaqaḥa', as it is intransitive and not transitive.

وبه فسر الحديث: (نهى عن بيع التمر حتى يشقه)

And with this, the hadith is interpreted: 'He forbade the sale of dates until they ripen'.

والهاء بدل من الحاء

And the 'ha' is a substitute for the 'ha'.

ومما يستدرك عليه: إشقاه التمر: أن يحمر ويصفر كالإشقاح

And among what is to be added to it: 'ashqā' the dates means: for them to become red and yellow like al-ishqāḥ.

وبه روي الحديث أيضا
