[Machine] That a young boy came to the Prophet ﷺ one day with fresh dates. The dates of the Prophet ﷺ were dry. The Prophet ﷺ said, "How did you get these dates?" The boy said, "We bought a saa' of our dates with two saa's of these dates." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not do this, for this is not permissible. Instead, sell your dates and buy whichever dates you wish."  

أحمد:١١٦٤٠ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ حَدَّثَهُمْ

أَنَّ غُلَامًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَتَاهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِتَمْرٍ رَيَّانَ وَكَانَ تَمْرُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَعْلًا فِيهِ يُبْسٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنَّى لَكَ هَذَا التَّمْرُ؟ فَقَالَ هَذَا صَاعٌ اشْتَرَيْنَاهُ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرِنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَصْلُحُ وَلَكِنْ بِعْ تَمْرَكَ وَاشْتَرِ مِنْ أَيِّ تَمْرٍ شِئْتَ

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ was brought some fresh dates. The dates of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ were dried and had become hard. So he asked, "What is wrong with these dates?" They replied, "These are dates that we bought two measures of in exchange for our one measure of dates." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is not permissible. Instead, sell your dates and then buy."
