Abu Ayyash Zaid narrated that he asked Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) about selling barley in exchange for wheat. Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, “Which of the two is better?” He replied, “Wheat.” Then Sa’d forbade him and said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) being asked about selling dry dates for fresh dates. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do fresh dates decrease after they become dry?’ The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, ‘Yes.’ So he (ﷺ) forbade that.”
