4549. It was narrated that Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was asked about (buying) fresh dates with dried dates, and he said to those who were around him: 'Will fresh dates decrease (in weight or volume) when they dry out?' They said 'Yes,' so he forbade that." (Hasan)
٤٥٤٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، (١) عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: «سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ، فَقَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ: أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فَنَهَى عَنْهُ».

Allâh's Messenger's ﷺ inquiring of the people who were present was not because he was not aware of it. Rather the Prophet's ﷺ question was to make evident the cause of the command itself, because on both the sides, the same species is involved. In such instances, deficiency or excess is not permitted. In the hereunder quoted instance, there is possibility of deficiency or excess.
