Hadith #548
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ رَيَّانَ وَكَانَ تَمْرُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَمْرًا بَعْلًا فِيهِ يَبْسٌ فَقَالَ أَنَّى لَكُمْ هَذَا التَّمْرُ فَقَالُوا هَذَا تَمْرٌ ابْتَعْنَا صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرِنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَصْلُحُ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنْ بِعْ تَمْرَكَ ثُمَّ ابْتَعْ حَاجَتَكَ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Sa'id narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some fine quality dates, while the dates of Madinah were of a different type. He said: 'Where did these come from?' They said: We bought two sa's of these for three sa's of the other — or three sa's of these for two sa's of the other. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do not do that. Rather, sell the mixed dates for dirhams, then buy with the dirhams the better quality dates.'
