From the life of Hazrat Sawaad (ra) bin Ghaziyyah
It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (sa) sent him as the collector of revenue in Khayber. He returned with excellent dates and the Holy Prophet (sa) purchased around 3 kilograms of the high-quality dates from him in return for around 7 kilograms of normal dates.
(Usdul Ghaaba, Vol. 2, p. 590, Suwaad bin Ghazyah (ra), Dar-ul-Kutub-ul-Ilmiyyah, Beirut).
The Holy Prophet (sa) liked the dates so he purchased them for its actual price by exchanging dates in return.
