Sahih al-Bukhari 2171 (Book 34, Hadith 122) #2085
The Forbidden Practice of Muzabana

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the selling of fresh produce for dried produce by measure.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Messenger forbade Muzabana; and Muzabana is the selling of fresh dates for dried old dates by measure, and the selling of fresh grapes for dried grapes by measure.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَى عَنِ الْمُزَابَنَةِ، وَالْمُزَابَنَةُ بَيْعُ الثَّمَرِ بِالتَّمْرِ كَيْلاً، وَبَيْعُ الزَّبِيبِ بِالْكَرْمِ كَيْلاً‏.‏

Be honest and fair in your dealings with others .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the practice of Muzabana, which is a type of trading where fresh produce such as dates and grapes are exchanged for dried versions in equal measure. Allah's Messenger forbade this practice, meaning it was not allowed to be done. This hadith teaches us that we should not take advantage of people by exchanging goods unfairly or unequally. We should always strive to be fair and honest in our dealings with others, even if it means we have to make sacrifices ourselves. We should also remember that Allah knows all our actions and will reward us accordingly for being just and honest in our dealings with others.
