حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي أَرَى لَوْنَكَ مُنْكَفِئًا . قَالَ " الْخَمْصُ " . فَانْطَلَقَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ فِي رَحْلِهِ شَيْئًا فَخَرَجَ يَطْلُبُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِيَهُودِيٍّ يَسْقِي نَخْلاً فَقَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ أَسْقِي نَخْلَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ . قَالَ كُلُّ دَلْوٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ . وَاشْتَرَطَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ أَنْ لاَ يَأْخُذَ خَدِرَةً وَلاَ تَارِزَةً وَلاَ حَشَفَةً وَلاَ يَأْخُذَ إِلاَّ جَلْدَةً . فَاسْتَقَى بِنَحْوٍ مِنْ صَاعَيْنِ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Ali ibn al-Mundhir narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us: Abdullah ibn Said narrated to us, from his grandfather, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: A man from the Ansar came and said, “Messenger of Allah, why do I see your complexion changed?” He replied, “Hunger.” The Ansari went to his belongings but found nothing there. He went out looking and found a Jewish man watering date palms. The Ansari asked him, “May I water your palms?” He said, “Yes.” The Ansari stipulated one date for each bucket, and that he would take no khadirah, tarizah, or hashafah, but only jaldah dates. He drew water for about two sa of dates and brought them to the Prophet ﷺ.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic preserves four date-category terms (خدرة، تارزة، حشفة، جلدة); the English witness glosses the first three as black/rotten, hard/dried, or inferior and the last as good quality. The descriptions are uncertain, so the source terms are retained. The amount is about two sa.
