The Value of Fair Trade

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised a man to not sell mixed dates for a lower price than the Janib dates, but instead to sell the mixed dates for Dirhams and then buy the Janib dates with that money.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al'Khudri and Abu Hurairah that: the Messenger of Allah appointed a man in charge of kharibar and he brought some Janib dates. The messenger of Allah said; "Are all the dates if khaibar like this?" He said: "No (by Allah, O Messenger of Allah) we take a Sa of these for two for three Sa (of other types of dates)". The messenger of Allah said: "do not do that Sell the mixed dates for Dirhams then buy the Janib dates with the Dirhams" ,"
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ بْنِ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلاً عَلَى خَيْبَرَ فَجَاءَ بِتَمْرٍ جَنِيبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَكُلُّ تَمْرِ خَيْبَرَ هَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ الصَّاعَ مِنْ هَذَا بِصَاعَيْنِ وَالصَّاعَيْنِ بِالثَّلاَثِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لاَ تَفْعَلْ بِعِ الْجَمْعَ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ ثُمَّ ابْتَعْ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ جَنِيبًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fair trade. It was narrated by Abu Sa’eed Al’Khudri and Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad appointed a man in charge of Kharibar, who brought some Janib dates. When asked if all the dates from Kharibar were like this, he said no. The Prophet then advised him not to sell these mixed dates for less than what they are worth, but instead to exchange them for Dirhams and use those Dirhams to buy the Janib Dates. This teaches us that we should always be fair when trading goods or services; we should never take advantage of someone else by selling something at an unfair price or exchanging something at an unequal value. We should always strive for fairness in our transactions so as not to take advantage of others or be taken advantage of ourselves.
