3359. Zaid Abū 'Ayyāsh narrated that he asked Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāsh about (selling) white wheat for barley. Sa'd said to him: "Which of them is better?" He said: "The white wheat." He told him not to do that. He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ being asked about buying dried dates with fresh dates, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do fresh dates diminish when they become dry?' They said: 'Yes.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade that." (Hasan)
