2312. Narrated Abū Sa'īd al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Once Bilāl brought Barnī (i.e., a kind of dates) to the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "From where have you brought these?" Bilāl replied, "I had some inferior type of dates and exchanged two Ṣā' of it for one Ṣā' of Barnī (dates) in order to give it to the Prophet ﷺ to eat." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "Beware! Beware! This is definitely Ribā (usury)! This is definitely Ribā(1) (usury). ! Don't do so, but if you want to buy (a superior kind of dates), sell the inferior kind of dates for money and then buy the superior kind of dates with that money."

2312 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الغَافِرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: جَاءَ بِلاَلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَمْرٍ بَرْنِيٍّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : «مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا؟»، قَالَ بِلاَلٌ: كَانَ عِنْدَنَا تَمْرٌ رَدِيٌّ، فَبِعْتُ مِنْهُ صَاعَيْنِ بِصَاعٍ، لِنُطْعِمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: «أَوَّهْ أَوَّهْ، عَيْنُ الرِّبَا عَيْنُ الرِّبَا، لاَ تَفْعَلْ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ فَبِعِ التَّمْرَ بِبَيْعٍ آخَرَ، ثُمَّ اشْتَرِهِ»
