حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ زَيْدًا أَبَا عَيَّاشٍ سَأَلَ سَعْدًا عَنْ الْبَيْضَائِ بِالسُّلْتِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الْبَيْضَائُ فَنَهَی عَنْ ذَلِکَ وَقَالَ سَعْدٌ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ اشْتِرَائِ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَنَهَی عَنْ ذَلِکَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1225
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Yazid: Zaid, Abu Ayyash asked Sa'd regarding white wheat in exchange for barley: which of them was better ? He said the white, then he forbade that. Sa'd said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) being asked about selling dried dates for ripe dates and he said to those present: Will the fresh dates shrink when they are dry ? They said yes, so he forbade that.'
