Sunan Abi Dawud 3359 (Book 23, Hadith 34) #23649
Exchange of Fresh Dates and Soft Wheat

SUMMARY: The Prophet (sawa) forbade the exchange of fresh dates for dry dates, and soft white wheat for barley.

Zayd Abu 'Ayyash asked Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas about the sale of the soft and white kind of wheat for barley. Sa'd said: Which of them is better? He replied: Soft and white kind of wheat. So he forbade him from it and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sawa) say, when he was asked about buying dry dates for fresh. The Messenger of Allah (sawa) said: Are fresh dates diminished when they become dry? The (the people) replied: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah forbade that. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Isma'il b. Umayyah.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ زَيْدًا أَبَا عَيَّاشٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَأَلَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، بِالسُّلْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الْبَيْضَاءُ ‏.‏ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ شِرَاءِ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ نَحْوَ مَالِكٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be honest and just when dealing with others in any kind of transaction or agreement we make with them so that everyone can benefit from it equally without feeling taken advantage of or cheated out of something they rightfully deserve .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the exchange of goods between two parties. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about exchanging fresh dates for dry dates and soft white wheat for barley. He ﷺ responded by asking which one was better, to which the person replied that the soft white wheat was better than barley. The Prophet ﷺ then forbade this exchange as it would be unfair to those who are selling their goods in order to make a profit or benefit from it in some way. This hadith teaches us that we should not take advantage of others when trading or exchanging goods as it is not fair or just to do so. We should always strive to be honest and just when dealing with others in any kind of transaction or agreement we make with them so that everyone can benefit from it equally without feeling taken advantage of or cheated out of something they rightfully deserve.
