4555 - Isma'il ibn Mas'ud narrated to us, saying: Khalid narrated to us, saying: Hisham narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, who said:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri narrated to me, saying: We used to receive the mixed dates of al-Jam' as provision during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and we would sell two sa' for one sa'. When that reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: "No two sa' of dates for one sa', nor two sa' of wheat for one sa', nor one dirham for two dirhams."(1)(2)

= Also recorded by Ahmad (11412) from Muhammad ibn Ja'far, and (11640) from Yazid ibn Harun, both from Sa'id ibn Abi 'Aruba, with it, and Yazid's hearing from Ibn Abi 'Aruba was also before his confusion [ikhtilat].
Also recorded in similar form by Ahmad (10992), (11075), (11555), and (11582), and Muslim (1594): (97), (99), and (100) via the route of Abu Nadra, and Ahmad (11528) via the route of al-Hasan, both from Abu Sa'id, with it.
See what precedes it, and see the three following hadiths.
Al-Sindi said: His statement "rayyan" meaning: one who watered his palm trees with abundant water. "Ba'l" meaning: what drinks from its roots and is not irrigated by canals.
(1) In (R) and a copy in the margins of (K) and (H): "nor two dirhams for one dirham."
(2) Its chain is authentic; Khalid is Ibn al-Harith al-Hujaymi, and Hisham is Ibn Abi 'Abd Allah al-Dastuwa'i. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (6602).
Also recorded by Ahmad (11452), (11457), and (11475) via two routes from Hisham, with this chain.
The first narration is abridged to its beginning.
Also recorded by al-Bukhari (2080) and Muslim (1595): (98) via the route of Shayban ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, with it.
Also recorded in similar form by Ibn Majah (2256) via the route of Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salama, with it.
Also recorded by Ibn Hibban (5024) via the route of al-Walid ibn Muslim, from al-Awza'i, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from 'Uqba ibn 'Abd al-Ghafir, from Abu Sa'id, with it.
I say: This hadith will come later under number (4557) via the route of Yahya ibn Hamza, from al-Awza'i, with a chain similar to that of Ibn Hibban, but with different wording. And it will come with this wording in the following narration.
