4244, 4245. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī and Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appointed a man as the ruler of Khaibar who later brought some Janīb (i.e., dates of good quality) to the Prophet ﷺ. On that, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to him), "Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?" He said, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger! But we take one Ṣā' of these (dates of good quality) for two or three Ṣā' of other dates (of inferior quality)." On that, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Do not do so as it is a kind of usury (Ribā Faḍl) but first sell the inferior quality dates for money and then with money, buy Janīb."

4244 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ المَجِيدِ بْنِ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا عَلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَجَاءَهُ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا»، فَقَالَ: لاَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ الصَّاعَ مِنْ هَذَا بِالصَّاعَيْنِ، بِالثَّلاَثَةِ، فَقَالَ: «لاَ تَفْعَلْ، بِعِ الجَمْعَ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ، ثُمَّ ابْتَعْ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ جَنِيبًا»
