Chapter 96: Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah
Narrated Abu Sa 'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira: Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) sent the brother of the tribe of Bani Adi Al-Ansari as governor of Khaibar. Then the
man returned, bringing Janib (a good kind of date). Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, "Are all the dates of
Khaibar like that?" He replied, "No, by Allah, O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! We take one Sa' of these (good)
dates for two Sas of mixed dates." Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) 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."
