Selling Food with Measurement

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade selling food until two measures of the seller and buyer have been taken.

It was narrated that Jabir said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade selling food bought by measure until two Sa' have been measured - the Sa' of the seller and the Sa' of the buyer".1
