Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غَزْوَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو دُهْقَانَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَيْفٌ فَقَالَ لِبِلَالٍ ائْتِنَا بِطَعَامٍ فَذَهَبَ بِلَالٌ فَأَبْدَلَ صَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ جَيِّدٍ وَكَانَ تَمْرُهُمْ دُونًا فَأَعْجَبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التَّمْرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا التَّمْرُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ أَبْدَلَ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُدَّ عَلَيْنَا تَمْرَنَا.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr narrated to us: Fudayl, that is Ibn Ghazwan, narrated to us: Abu Duhqanah told me: I was sitting with 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, and he said: A guest came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so he said to Bilal: "Bring us some food." Bilal went and exchanged two sa' of dates for one sa' of good dates, since their own dates were of poor quality. The dates pleased the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: "Where are these dates from?" Bilal told him that he had exchanged two sa' for one sa'. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give us back our dates."
