Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allaah be pleased with them) reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) deputed a person from Banu 'Adi al-Ansari to collect revenue from Khaibar. He came with a fine quality of dates, whereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: Are all the dates of Khaibar like this? He said: Allaah's Messenger, it is not so. We buy one sa' of (fine quality of dates) for two sa's out of total output (including even the inferior quality of dates), whereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Don't do that, but like for like, or sell this (the inferior quality and receive the price) and then buy with the price of that, and that would make up the measure. |
