Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنِي أَبُو نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ صَاحِبَ التَّمْرِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّ
َمَ بِتَمْرَةٍ فَأَنْكَرَهَا فَقَالَ أَنَّى لَكَ هَذَا قَالَ اشْتَرَيْنَا بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرِنَا صَاعًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَيْتُمْ

English Translation
Mu'tamir narrated to us, from his father who said: Abu Nadrah informed me, from Abu Sa'id (رضي الله عنه) that the date collector brought the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a date, and he did not recognize it. He said: 'Where did you get this?' He said: 'We took two sa's of these for one sa' of ours.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'That is the very essence of riba. Return it, and sell your dates for dirhams, then buy with the dirhams [the other dates].'
