Bulugh al-Maram 814
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Do not tie up the udders of camels and goats. He who buys them after that (has been done) has two choices open to him after milking them: he may keep them if he wishes, or may return them along with one Sa' of dates." [Agreed upon].
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { لَا تَصُرُّوا اَلْإِبِلَ وَالْغَنَمَ, فَمَنِ اِبْتَاعَهَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ بِخَيْرِ اَلنَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْلُبَهَا, إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا, وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏

Another narration by Muslim, which al-Bukhari reported as Mu'allaq (with a broken chain), has:
"He must return with it one Sa' of any grain but wheat." [al-Bukhari said, "(One Sa' of) dates is mentioned in more narrations than not].
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: { لَهُ, عَلَّقَهَا } اَلْبُخَارِيُّ: { رَدَّ مَعَهَا صَاعاً مِنْ طَعَامٍ, لَا سَمْرَاءَ } قَالَ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ: وَالتَّمْرُ أَكْثَرُ 1‏ .‏
