2201, 2202. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī and Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appointed somebody as a governor of Khaibar. That governor brought to him an excellent kind of dates (from Khaibar). The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?" He replied, "By Allāh, no, O Allāh's Messenger! But we barter one Ṣā' of this (type of dates) for two Ṣā' of dates of ours and two Ṣā' of it for three of ours." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Do not do so [as that is a kind of Ribā (usury)] but sell the mixed dates (of inferior quality) for money, and then buy good dates with money."

٢٢٠١ - ٢٢٠٢ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ﵄: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى خَيْبَرَ فَجَاءَهُ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا، قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ الصَّاعَ مِنْ هَذَا بِالصَّاعَيْنِ، وَالصَّاعَيْنِ بِالثَّلَاثَةِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَا تَفْعَلْ، بِعِ الْجَمْعَ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ، ثُمَّ ابْتَعْ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ جَنِيبًا.»
