Hadith 2264
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، وَإِسْحَاق بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ ، أَنَّ زَيْدًا أَبَا عَيَّاشٍ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ اشْتِرَاءِ الْبَيْضَاءِ بِالسُّلْتِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ : أَيَّتُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ ، قَالَ : الْبَيْضَاءُ فَنَهَانِي عَنْهُ ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اشْتِرَاءِ الرُّطَبِ بِالتَّمْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ ؟ " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، فَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ .
´It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Yazid, the freed slave of Al-Aswad bin Sufyan, that :` Zaid, Abu 'Ayyash, the freed slave of Bani Zuhrah, told him that he asked Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas about buying wheat with barley. Sa'd said to him: "Which of them is better?" He said: "Wheat." He told him not to do that and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) being asked about buying fresh dates with dried dates, and he said: 'Do fresh dates decrease in weight when they become dry?' They said: 'Yes.' So he told them not to do that."
