English translation
4558. It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî that some dates from trees that were irrigated artificially were brought to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the dates of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ were dates from trees that were nourished by their roots. He said: "Where did you get these from?" They said: "We bought a Ṣâ' of them for two Ṣâ's of our dates." He said: "Do not do that, for this is not right. Rather sell your dates and but what you need of these." (Saḥīḥ)
