Muwatta' Malik 31-21

Translation

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ata ibn Yasar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Dried dates for dried dates is like for like.' It was said to him, 'Your agent in Khaybar takes one sa for two.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'all him to me.' So he was called for. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Do you take one sa for two?' He replied, 'Messengerof Allah! Why should they sell me good dates for assorted low quality dates, sa for sa!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sell the assorted ones for dirhams, and then buy the good ones with those dirhams.' "
