أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَنَهَی عَنْهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4560
It was narrated that Saad said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was asked about (buying) fresh dates with dried dates, and he said to those who were around him: ‘Will fresh dates decrease (in weight or volume) when they dry out?’ They said ‘Yes,’ so he forbade that.” (Hasan)
