Sunan Abi Dawud 3496 (Book 24, Hadith 81) #23786
Measuring Grain Before Selling

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to not sell grain until it has been measured.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Messenger of Allah as saying: If anyone buys grain, he should not sell it until he measures it. Abu Bakr added in his version: I asked Ibn 'Abbas: Why ? He replied: Do you not see that they sell (grain) for gold, but the grain is still with the seller.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ، ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنِ ابْتَاعَ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَبِعْهُ حَتَّى يَكْتَالَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ قَالَ أَلاَ تَرَى أَنَّهُمْ يَتَبَايَعُونَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالطَّعَامُ مُرَجًّى

Measure your grains before you sell them .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us an important lesson about buying and selling goods. He said that if someone buys grain, they should not sell it until they measure it. This is because when people buy grain, they pay for it with gold or money, but the grain still remains with the seller. Therefore, measuring the amount of grain before selling ensures that both parties are getting a fair deal and no one is being cheated out of their money or goods. This hadith teaches us to be honest in our dealings and to make sure that everyone involved in a transaction gets what they deserve. It also encourages us to be mindful of our actions and think carefully before making any decisions related to buying or selling goods.
