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 صلى الله عليه وسلم يُسْأَلُ عَنْ شِرَاءِ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏

أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏

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 (ﷺ) forbade that.

Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Isma'il b. Umayyah.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 3359).

( عَنْ الْبَيْضَاء بِالسُّلْتِ ) : قَالَ الْخَطَّابِيّ : الْبَيْضَاء نَوْع مِنْ الْبُرّ أَبْيَض اللَّوْن. وَفِيهِ رَخَاوَة يَكُون بِبِلَادِ مِصْر. وَالسُّلْت نَوْع غَيْر الْبُرّ وَهُوَ أَدَقّ حَبًّا مِنْهُ وَقَالَ بَعْضهمْ : الْبِيض هُوَ الرَّطِيب مِنْ السُّلْت وَالْأَوَّل أَعْرَف إِلَّا أَنَّ هَذَا الْقَوْل أَلْيَق بِمَعْنَى الْحَدِيث , وَعَلَيْهِ يَتَبَيَّن مَوْضِع النَّسِيئَة مِنْ الرُّطَب بِالتَّمْرِ. وَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّطِيب مِنْهَا جِنْسًا وَالْيَابِس جِنْسًا آخَر لَمْ يَصِحّ النَّسِيئَة اِنْتَهَى. وَقَالَ فِي الْمَجْمَع : السُّلْت ضَرْب مِنْ الشَّعِير أَبْيَض لَا قِشْر لَهُ , وَقِيلَ هُوَ نَوْع مِنْ الْحِنْطَة وَالْأَوَّل أَصَحّ , لِأَنَّ الْبَيْضَاء هِيَ الْحِنْطَة. اِنْتَهَى.
