2302, 2303. Narrated Abū Sa‘īd Al-Khudrī and Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ employed someone as a governor at Khaibar. When the man came to Al-Madina, he brought with him dates called Janib. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are all the dates of Khaibar of this kind?" The man replied, "(No), we exchange two Sā' of bad dates for one Sā' of this kind of dates (i.e., Janib), or exchange three Sā' for two." On that, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Don't do so, as it is a kind of Ribā (usury) but sell the dates of inferior quality for money, and then buy Janib with the money." The Prophet ﷺ said the same thing about dates sold by weight. [See Hadīth No.2312].

Arabic text

٢٣٠٢ - ٢٣٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ﵄: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَجَاءَهُمْ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ، فَقَالَ: أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ الصَّاعَ مِنْ هَذَا بِالصَّاعَيْنِ، وَالصَّاعَيْنِ بِالثَّلَاثَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَفْعَلْ، بِعِ الْجَمْعَ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ، ثُمَّ ابْتَعْ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ جَنِيبًا وَقَالَ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.»
