Sunan an-Nasai 4545 (Book 44, Hadith 97) #19078
Exchange of Fresh Dates for Dried Dates Forbidden

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade the exchange of fresh dates for dried dates due to the difference in weight or volume.

it was narrated that Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allah was asked about (buying) fresh dates with dried dates, and he said to those who were around him: 'Will fresh dates decrease (in weight or volume) when they dry out?" they said Yes,' so he forbade that".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ ‏ "‏ أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَنَهَى عَنْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on exchanging fresh dates for dried dates. He asked those around him if fresh dates decrease in weight or volume when they dry out and they said yes. Therefore he forbade this exchange as it would be unfair to one party involved in the transaction. This hadith teaches us that we should not take advantage of others and should always be fair and just when engaging in any kind of transaction. We should also strive to ensure that all parties involved are treated fairly and equally so that no one is taken advantage of or put at a disadvantage due to their circumstances.
