[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the purchase of fresh dates with dried dates or dried dates with fresh dates. He said to those around him, "Will it decrease if it dries?" They said, "Yes." So he forbade it. This is also what Obaidullah bin Abdul Majid narrated from Malik, who said that Abdul Malik bin Yazid narrated it from Dawud bin Al-Husayn, who narrated it from Abdullah bin Yazid. Abu Al-Hasan bin Abadan informed us, I am Ahmad bin Ubaid narrating from Ismail bin Ishaq, and I am Ali bin Abdullah narrating from my father, who said that Malik bin Anas narrated to him from Dawud bin Al-Husayn, who narrated from Abdullah bin Yazid, the freed slave of Aswad bin Sufyan. He mentioned it, lengthening it. Ali and my father had heard it from Malik a long time ago, before these people had heard it. So I think that Malik had learned it from Dawud bin Al-Husayn a long time ago, then he heard it from Abdullah bin Yazid and narrated it, accepting it from Dawud. Then he reviewed it, correcting it from Abdullah bin Yazid and leaving out Dawud bin Al-Husayn. And Allah knows best.
