[Machine] Did you hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about trading gold for gold and silver for silver? He said, "I will tell you what I heard from him: A man came to him with a good quality date and the Prophet ﷺ used to call it "al-lawn" (the color). The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Where did you get this good quality date from?" He replied, "I exchanged two measures of our dates and bought one measure of this." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did you sell it at a profit?" He replied, "Yes." Then Abu Sa'eed said, "The Prophet ﷺ stated, 'Trading dates for dates is permissible, just as silver is traded for silver and gold for gold.'"  

أحمد:١١٠٧٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي سَعِيدٍ

أَسَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ قَالَ سَأُخْبِرُكُمْ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ جَاءَهُ صَاحِبُ تَمْرِهِ بِتَمْرٍ طَيِّبٍ وَكَانَ تَمْرُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهُ اللَّوْنُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ هَذَا التَّمْرُ الطَّيِّبُ؟ قَالَ ذَهَبْتُ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرِنَا وَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِهِ صَاعًا مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَيْتَ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ أَرْبَى أَمِ الْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ؟
