حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ أَنَّ زَيْدًا أَبَا عَيَّاشٍ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ اشْتِرَاءِ الْبَيْضَاءِ بِالسُّلْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ أَيَّتُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الْبَيْضَاءُ فَنَهَانِي عَنْهُ وَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ اشْتِرَاءِ الرُّطَبِ بِالتَّمْرِ فَقَالَ أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ

Zaid, Abu 'Ayyash, the freed slave of Bani Zuhrah, told him that he asked Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas about buying wheat with barley. Sa'd said to him: "Which of them is better?" He said: "Wheat." He told him not to do that and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being asked about buying fresh dates with dried dates, and he said: 'Do fresh dates decrease in weight when they become dry?' They said: 'Yes.' So he told them not to do that."

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn Ḥazm
هذا حديث لا يصح لجهالة أبي عياش

لا يعرف أبو عياش
machine translationAbū ʿAyyāsh is not known.

مداره على زيد بن عياش وهو ضعيف عند النقلة

وهم فيه وكيع إذ جعل الذرة موضع البيضاء
machine translationWakīʿ made an error in it (wahima fīhi), as he put sorghum (dhurah) in the place of white [wheat] (bayḍāʾ).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2347 - Ibn Ḥazm
زيد أبو عياش لا يدري من هو
machine translationZayd Abū ʿAyyāsh: it is not known who he is.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2347 - Khaṭṭābī
وقد تكلم بعض الناس في إسناد هذا الحديث وقال زيد أبو عياش مجهول ومثل هذا الإسناد على أصل الشافعي لا يحتج به وليس الأمر على ما توهمه فإن أبا عياش هذا مولى لبني زهرة معروف وقد ذكره مالك في الموطأ وهو لا يروي عن رجل متروك الحديث بوجه وهذا من شأن مالك وعادته
machine translationSome people have spoken about the chain of this hadith and said: Zayd Abū ʿAyyāsh is unknown (majhūl), and a chain like this, according to the principle of al-Shāfiʿī, is not to be used as evidence. But the matter is not as he imagined, for this Abū ʿAyyāsh is a well-known freed slave (mawlā) of Banū Zuhrah, and Mālik mentioned him in the Muwaṭṭaʾ, and Mālik does not narrate from a man whose hadith is abandoned (matrūk) in any way. This is Mālik's way and his habit.
