[Machine] "I had a container of dates with me for the Prophet ﷺ, but I found a better quality of dates, twice as much for the same price, so I bought them. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and he asked me, 'Where did you get these, O Bilal?' I replied, 'I bought a container of dates for the same price as what we had.' He said, 'Return it and bring back the dates we had.'"  

الدارمي:٢٦١٨أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحاَقَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ بِلَالٍ قَالَ

كَانَ عِنْدِي مُدُّ تَمْرٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُ أَطْيَبَ مِنْهُ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ هَذَا يَا بِلَالُ؟» قُلْتُ اشْتَرَيْتُ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ قَالَ «رُدَّهُ وَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا تَمْرَنَا»

[Machine] I had a bundle of dates for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I found something better than it—two saa' (measurements) for the price of one—so I bought it. I brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "What is this?" I said, "I got two saa' for the price of one." He said, "Return to us our dates."  

الطبراني:١٠٩٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ بِلَالٍ قَالَ

كَانَ عِنْدِي تَمْرٌ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ فَاشْتَرَيْتُهُ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ أَخَذْتُ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ فَقَالَ «رُدَّ عَلَيْنَا تَمْرَنَا»
