The Shaykh : As for the hadith of Abu Sa'id to which the author (may Allah have mercy on him) referred in the story of the good dates that Bilal brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: The meaning of the hadith is that good dates were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was surprised where this good dates came from. They said, "We take this date, one sa' for two sa' of the dates we have, which are bad dates, and the two sa' for three." He said: "Oho, oho, oho." What does "oho" mean? It means I am distressed. Then he said: meaning this is the essence of riba. Then he said: And in a narration by Muslim, meaning cancel the sale. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided them to the correct method, which is to sell the bad dates for dirhams, then take the dirhams and buy good dates with them. Pay attention, my brother.
This hadith breaks the backs of those who say that if there is no oppression in riba, it is lawful. Do you understand? Do you understand? Good.
Where did this come from? He said: "We used to take one sa' for two sa', and two sa' for three." He said: "Oho, oho, oho, this is the essence of riba. Do not do that. Sell the dates, meaning the bad ones, in a sale, then buy with the proceeds."
من أين هذا؟ قال : كنا نأخذ الصاع بالصاعين والصاعين بالثلاثة فقال: أوه أوه أوه عين الربا لا تفعل بع التمر يعني الرديء ببيع ثم اشتر بهPure riba
عين الرباDo not do that
لا تفعلCancel it.
