Hadith text

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) employed someone as a governor at Khaibar. When the man came to Medina, he brought with him dates called Janib. The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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)

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri aur Abu Huraira bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool ne Khaibar ka ek gawarnar muqarrar kiya. Jab woh shaks Madina aaya, woh apne saath Janib naam ki khajoor laaya. Nabi ne unse pucha: "Kya Khaibar ki sab khajoor aisi hain?" Shaks ne jawab diya: "(Nahi), hum kharaab khajoor ke do Sa badalkar is qisam (Janib) ki ek Sa lete hain, ya teen Sa (kharaab) badalkar do (achhi)." Isspar Nabi ne kaha: "Aisa mat karo, kyunke yeh sood (Riba) ka ek qisam hai balki kam quality wali khajoor ko paise ke badle becho, phir usse Janib khareeda karo." Nabi ne wazan se bechi jaane wali khajoor ke baare mein bhi yehi kaha.
