[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about buying dates with fresh dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Does the fresh date decrease if it becomes dry?" They said: Yes. So he forbade it. And it was narrated by Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Qattan from Malik who said: Abdullah ibn Yazid narrated to me.

malik:31-23 – Mālik > ʿAbdullāh b. Yazīd > Zayd Abū ʿAyyāsh

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Yazid that Zayd ibn Ayyash told him that he had once asked Sad ibn Abi Waqqas about selling white wheat for a type of good barley. Sad asked him which was the better and when he told him the white wheat, he forbade the transaction. Sad said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about selling dried dates for fresh dates, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do the dates diminish in size when they become dry?' When he was told that they did, he forbade that."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was asked about eating dried dates, and he said, "Will it cause any decrease if it dries?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then refrain from it." This ruling was also confirmed by Yahya ibn Abi Kathir in his narration from Abdullah ibn Yazid.
