"كُنْتُ أَبِيعُ التَّمرَ فِى سُوقِ بَنِى قَيْنُقَاعَ فَأَكَيلُ أَوْسَاقًا فَأَقُولُ: كِلْتُ فِى وَسْقِى كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ، فَدَخَلَنِى شَىْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِذَا سَمَّيْتَ كَيلًا فَكلْهُ".

"I used to sell dates in the marketplace, and I would say: 'This was such and such an amount (when I bought it).' I Would give the purchaser a specific amount of dates according to the way it had been measured for me, and take my profit. Then I began to have some doubts about that, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: ‘When you name the amount, measure it in front of the purchaser."'
كُنْتُ أَبِيعُ التَّمْرَ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَقُولُ كِلْتُ فِي وَسْقِي هَذَا كَذَا فَأَدْفَعُ أَوْسَاقَ التَّمْرِ بِكَيْلِهِ وَآخُذُ شِفِّي فَدَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَىْءٌ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِذَا سَمَّيْتَ الْكَيْلَ فَكِلْهُ
