[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a brother from the Ansar to lead them to Khaibar, so he brought dates in a bag. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Is it the case that the people of Khaibar eat such dates?" He said, "No, By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we buy a Sa'a with two Sa'a from Al-Jam'." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not do that, but sell this and buy with its price from that." And that is how the scale works.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ أَخَا بَنِي عَدِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَاسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ فَقَدِمَ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا نَشْتَرِي الصَّاعَ بِالصَّاعَيْنِ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَفْعَلُوا وَلَكِنْ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ أَوْ تَبِيعُوا هَذَا وَاشْتَرُوا بِثَمَنِهِ مِنْ هَذَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيزَانُ
[Machine] One day, while he was with his wife Umm Salama, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am craving for a date called 'Ajwah.' Someone has sent two sa' (a measurement) of old dates to the house of a man from the Ansar. So I have been brought a substitute of one sa' of 'Ajwah' dates." Umm Salama presented it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he liked it. He ate one date and then held it in his hand, saying, "Where did you get this from?" She replied, "I sent two sa' of old dates to the house of so-and-so, and we exchanged them for this one sa' of 'Ajwah' dates." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw the date from his hand and said, "Return it, return it. I have no need for it. Dates are to be exchanged for dates, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, gold for gold, and silver for silver, in equal amounts and hand to hand. There should be no increase or decrease, so whoever gives or takes more has engaged in riba. And whatever is measured or weighed, Ibn 'Abbas said, "O Abu Sa'id, you reminded me of something I had forgotten. I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him." Afterward, he strongly prohibited engaging in riba.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ زَوْجَتِهِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي تَمْرَ عَجْوَةٍ وَإِنَّهَا بَعَثَتْ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَتِيقٍ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأُتِيَتْ بَدَلَهُمَا بِصَاعٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةٍ فَقَدَّمَتْهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْجَبَهُ فَتَنَاوَلَ تَمْرَةً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ هَذَا؟ قَالَتْ بَعَثْتُ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَتِيقٍ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ فُلَانٍ فَأَتَيْنَا بَدَلَهُمَا مِنْ هَذَا الصَّاعِ الْوَاحِدِ فَأَلْقَى التَّمْرَةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَقَالَ رُدُّوهُ رُدُّوهُ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةٌ وَلَا نُقْصَانٌ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَكُلُّ مَا يُكَالُ أَوْ يُوزَنُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ذَكَّرْتَنِي يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ أَمْرًا أُنْسِيتُهُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَشَدَّ النَّهْيِ
[Machine] Abu Ahmad (father of Ahmad) this hadith is from the narration of Abu Majlaz who was distinguished by Hayyan. I said: Hayyan, did you speak about it? It is said about his saying and likewise, Al-Mizan in the first hadith is from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri. And likewise, this word, if it is correct, is deduced by the narration of Dawud bin Abi Hind from Abu Nadrah from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri in his argument against Ibn 'Abbas with the story of dates. He said: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "If you wish to do that, then sell your dates for goods, then buy with your goods any dates you want." Abu Sa'id said: "So, are dates with dates more rightful to be a riba (usury) or silver with silver?" So, this was a qiyas (analogy) from Abu Sa'id for silver on dates, on which a story was narrated, except that some of..
أَبُو أَحْمَدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ حَيَّانُ قُلْتُ حَيَّانُ تَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ وَيُقَالُ فِي قَوْلِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيزَانُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ أَنَّهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَكَذَلِكَ هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ إِنْ صَحَّتْ وَيُسْتَدَلُّ عَلَيْهِ بِرِوَايَةِ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدَ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فِي احْتِجَاجِهِ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِقِصَّةِ التَّمْرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَيْتَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَبِعْ تَمْرَكَ بِسِلْعَةٍ ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِسِلْعَتِكَ أِيَّ تَمْرٍ شِئْتَ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ رِبًا أَمِ الْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ؟ فَكَانَ هَذَا قِيَاسًا مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ لِلْفِضَّةِ عَلَى التَّمْرِ الَّذِي رُوِيَ فِيهِ قِصَّةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ بَعْضَ الرُّوَاةِ
[Machine] Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said: "Indeed, usury is only found in gold, silver, and in what can be measured and weighed of what is consumed and drunk."
قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ إِنَّ الرِّبَا إِنَّمَا هُوَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَفِيمَا يُكَالُ وَيُوزَنُ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ وَيُشْرَبُ
