[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he was given dates and he admired their quality. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we took measure for measure to feed him, but he disliked that and prohibited it."  

أحمد:١١٥٢٨حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ فَأَعْجَبَهُ جَوْدَتُهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا أَخَذْنَا صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ لِنَطْعَمَهُ فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ وَنَهَى عَنْهُ
