رَجُلٍ قَالَ لآِخَرَ بِعْنِي ثَمَرَةَ نَخْلِكَ هَذَا الَّذِي فِيهِ بِقَفِيزَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ يُسَمِّي مَا شَاءَ فَبَاعَهُ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَ قَالَ التَّمْرُ وَ الْبُسْرُ مِنْ نَخْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ فَأَمَّا أَنْ يَخْلِطَ التَّمْرَ الْعَتِيقَ وَ الْبُسْرَ فَلَا يَصْلُحُ وَ الزَّبِيبُ وَ الْعِنَبُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who said to another, ‘Sell the dates of your palm tree to me, this one in which they are, with two Qafeez (a unit of measurement) of dates, or less than that, or more, naming whatever you so desires to’. So he sells it. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The dates and the unripened dates from a palm tree are one, there is no problem with it. But if you were to mix the old dates and the unripened, so it is not correct; and the raisins and the grapes are like that’.
