Hadith text

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appointed a man as the ruler of Khaibar who later brought some Janib (i.e. dates of good quality) to the Prophet. On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to him). "Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?" He said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But we take one Sa of these (dates of good quality) for two or three Sa's of other dates (of inferior quality)." On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not do so, but first sell the inferior quality dates for money and then with that money, buy Janib

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri aur Abu Huraira bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool ne ek shaks ko Khaibar ka gawarnar muqarrar kiya jo baad mein Janib (yaani achhi qisam ki khajoor) Nabi ke paas laaya. Ispar, Allah ke Rasool ne (unse) kaha, "Kya Khaibar ki sab khajoor aisi hi hain?" Unhone kaha, "Nahi, Allah ki qasam, Aye Allah ke Rasool! Magar hum in (achhi khajoor) ka ek Sa lete hain doosri (nichli qisam ki) khajoor ke do ya teen Sa ke badle mein." Ispar, Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, "Aisa mat karo, balki pahle nichli qisam ki khajoor ko paison mein bech do aur phir usi paise se, Janib khareedo."
