for two Sas of mixed dates.” Allah’s Apostle then said, “Do not do so. You should either take one Sa of
this (kind) for one Sa’ of the other; or sell one kind and then buy with its price the other kind (of
dates), and you should do the same in weighing.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 38: REPRESENTATION, AUTHORIZATION, BUSINESS BY PROXY
Allah’s Apostle employed someone as a governor at Khaibar. When the man came to Medina, he
brought with him dates called Janib. The Prophet asked him, “Are all the dates of Khaibar of this
kind?” The man replied, “(No), we exchange two Sa’s of bad dates for one Sa of this kind of dates (i.e.
Janib), or exchange three Sa’s for two.” On that, the Prophet said, “Don’t do so, as it is a kind of usury
(Riba) but sell the dates of inferior quality for money, and then buy Janib with the money”. The
Prophet said the same thing about dates sold by weight. (See Hadith No. 506).

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 405:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle appointed somebody as a governor of Khaibar. That governor brought to him an
excellent kind of dates (from Khaibar). The Prophet asked, “Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?” He
replied, “By Allah, no, O Allah’s Apostle! But we barter one Sa of this (type of dates) for two Sas of
dates of ours and two Sas of it for three of ours.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Do not do so (as that is a kind
of usury) but sell the mixed dates (of inferior quality) for money, and then buy good dates with that
money.”
