75 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ: تَبَايَعَ رَجُلَانِ عَلَي عَهْدِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ بِسُلْتٍ وَشَعِيرٍ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ تَبَايَعَ رَجُلَانِ عَلَي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَمْرٍ وَرُطَبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَنقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَلَا إِذَا»
Ibn Ayyash, the narrator, says: During the governorship of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), two men conducted a transaction of barley and barley without husk. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) explained: In the blessed time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), two men conducted a transaction of fresh and dry dates. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired: "When the fresh dates become dry, do they decrease (in weight or quantity)?" The people replied: Yes. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not permissible."
