أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَإِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ رَيَّانَ وَکَانَ تَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْلًا فِيهِ يُبْسٌ فَقَالَ أَنَّی لَکُمْ هَذَا قَالُوا ابْتَعْنَاهُ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرِنَا فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَصِحُّ وَلَکِنْ بِعْ تَمْرَکَ وَاشْتَرِ مِنْ هَذَا حَاجَتَکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4569
It was narrated from Abu Saeed Al-Khudri that some dates from trees that were irrigated artificially were brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and the dates of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم were dates from trees that were nourished by their roots. He said: “Where did you get these from?” They said: “We bought a a’of them for two a’s of our dates.” He said: “Do not do that, for this is not right. Rather sell your dates and but what you need of these.” (Sahih)
