Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا نُرْزَقُ تَمْرَ الْجَمْعِ، وَهْوَ الْخِلْطُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ، وَكُنَّا نَبِيعُ صَاعَيْنِ بِصَاعٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ صَاعَيْنِ بِصَاعٍ، وَلاَ دِرْهَمَيْنِ بِدِرْهَمٍ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abu Nuaym narrated to us: Shayban narrated to us, from Yahya, from Abu Salama, from Abu Saeed, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: “We used to be provided with mixed dates—that is, a mixture of dates—and we would sell two sa measures for one sa. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Not two sa measures for one sa, nor two dirhams for one dirham."”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic gloss explains tamr al-jam as a mixture of dates. The witness adds that the dates came from booty and that the exchange involved good dates; neither detail appears in this Arabic text.

  • وَهْوَ الْخِلْطُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ

    The English witness supplies a source from booty and a quality distinction absent from the Arabic.

    None; those additions are omitted.
