حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ يَحْيَی عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ کُنَّا نُرْزَقُ تَمْرَ الْجَمْعِ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الْخِلْطُ مِنْ التَّمْرِ فَکُنَّا نَبِيعُ صَاعَيْنِ بِصَاعٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِکَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا صَاعَيْ تَمْرٍ بِصَاعٍ وَلَا صَاعَيْ حِنْطَةٍ بِصَاعٍ وَلَا دِرْهَمَ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4085
Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) reported: Dates were brought to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and he said: These dates are not like our dates, whereupon a man said: We sold two sa's of our dates (in order to get) one sa', of these (fine dates), whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: That is interest; so return (these dates of fine quality), and get your (inferior dates) ; then sell our dates (for money) and buy for us (with the help of money) such (fine dates).
