Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 2201
Qutaibah narrated to us. He narrated from Malik, Malik from Abdul Majid bin Suhail bin Abdur Rahman, Abdul Majid from Sa'id bin Musayyab, he from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri and Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra), that the Messenger of Allah (saw) appointed a man as collector over Khaibar, and he brought him (saw) dates of an excellent kind. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?” He said: No. By Allah, O Messenger of Allah (saw), we take one Sa' of these in exchange for two Sa' of other dates, and two Sa' in exchange for three Sa'. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Do not do so. Sell the mixed dates together for Dirhams. Then with those Dirhams buy excellent dates.”
