Home Hadith Hadith 2121
If pollinated date-palms are sold and nothing is mentioned (in the contract) about their fruits, the fruits will go to the person who has pollinated them, and so will be the case with the slave and the cultivator. Nafi' mentioned those three things.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 34, Hadith 149
← Previous Hadith
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appointed somebody as a governor of Khaibar. That governor brought to him an
excellent kind of dates (from Khaibar). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?" He
replied, "By Allah, no, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But we barter one Sa of this (type of dates) for two Sas of
dates of ours and two Sas of it for three of ours." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not do so (as that is a kind
of usury) but sell the mixed dates (of inferior quality) for money, and then buy good dates with that
money."
