If a governor or a ruler gives a verdict based on his own opinion and the verdict proves to be wrong and disagrees with the verdict of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, but he is unaware of that; then his verdict will be rejected.

7350, 7351. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī and Abū Hurairah: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent the brother of the tribe of Bani 'Adī Al-Anṣārī as governor of Khaibar. Then the man returned, bringing Janīb (a good kind of date). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked him, "Are all the dates of Khaibar like that?" He replied, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger! We take one Ṣā' of these (good) dates for two Ṣā's of mixed dates." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said, "Do not do so [as it is a kind of Ribā (usury)]. You should either take one Ṣā' of this (kind) for one Ṣā' of the other; or sell one kind and then buy with its price the other kind (of dates), and you should do the same in weighing." [See Ribā in the glossary] (See H. 2170, 2174 and 2201)

٧٣٥٠ - ٧٣٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ يُحَدِّثُ: أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَأَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَاهُ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ أَخَا بَنِي عَدِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَقَدِمَ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا. قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا لَنَشْتَرِي الصَّاعَ بِالصَّاعَيْنِ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَا تَفْعَلُوا، وَلَكِنْ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ، أَوْ بِيعُوا هَذَا وَاشْتَرُوا بِثَمَنِهِ مِنْ هَذَا، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيزَانُ.»
