[Machine] I heard Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade selling fruit as dates, except that he permitted the selling of dried dates as dates, which their people eat moist.
سَمِعْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ أَنْ تُبَاعَ بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا يَأْكُلُهَا أَهْلُهَا رُطَبًا

Bashair b. Yasir reported on the authority of some of the Companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the members of his family among whom one was Sahl b. Abu Hathma that Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade buying of fresh dates against dry dates and that it is Riba and this is Muzabana, but he made an exemption of 'ariyya (donations) of a tree or two in which case the members of a family sell dry dates and buy fresh dates for eating them. (Using translation from Muslim 1540a)
عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَهْلِ دَارِهِ مِنْهُمٌ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَقَالَ ذَلِكَ الرِّبَا تِلْكَ الْمُزَابَنَةُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرِيَّةِ النَّخْلَةِ وَالنَّخْلَتَيْنِ يَأْخُذُهَا أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ بِخَرْصِهَا تَمْرًا يَأْكُلُونَهَا رُطَبًا
