for one Sa of Barni dates in order to give it to the Prophet; to eat.” Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Beware! Beware! This is definitely Riba (usury)! This is definitely Riba (Usury)! Don’t do so, but if
you want to buy (a superior kind of dates) sell the inferior dates for money and then buy the superior
kind of dates with that money.”
