Abu Hurairah (RA) and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) deputed a person from Banu 'Adi al-Ansari to collect revenue from Khaibar. He came with a fine quality of dates, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Are all the dates of Khaibar like this? He said: Allah's Messenger, it is not so. We buy one sa' of (fine quality of dates) for two sa's out of total output (including even the inferior quality of dates), whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Don't do that, but like for like, or sell this (the inferior quality and receive the price) and then buy with the price of that, and that would make up the measure.

He brought fine quality of dates, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Are all the dates of Khaibar like this)? He said: No. We got one sa' (of fine dates) for two sa's (of inferior dates), and (similarly) two sa's for three sa's. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Don't do that rather sell the inferior quality of dates for dirhams (money), and then buy the superior quality with the help of dirhams.
