[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not sell gold dinar for two gold dinars and do not sell silver dirham for two silver dirhams." These are the words of the hadith of Ibn Abbad.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَبِيعُوا الدِّينَارَ بِالدِّينَارَيْنِ وَلَا الدِّرْهَمَ بِالدِّرْهَمَيْنِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبْدَانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "A dinar should be exchanged for a dinar, with no difference between the two, and a dirham should be exchanged for a dirham, with no difference between them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الدِّينَارُ بِالدِّينَارِ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَالدِّرْهَمُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا  

Gold is to be paid for by gold, silver by silver, wheat by wheat, barley by barley, dates by dates, salt by salt, like by like, payment being made hand to hand. He who made an addition to it, or asked for an addition, in fact dealt in usury. The receiver and the giver are equally guilty. (Using translation from Muslim 1584e)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى الْآخِذُ وَالْمُعْطِي فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ  

[Machine] "From Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, Abu Sa'id came and settled in this house. He took me by the hand until we approached him and he said, 'What is this news about you?' Abu Sa'id said, 'With my own eyes I saw and with my own ears I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ using his finger saying, "Do not sell gold for gold nor silver for silver, except equally and at the spot. Do not keep one hand over the other hand nor sell the absent for the present.'  

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَقَدِمَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَنَزَلَ هَذِهِ الدَّارَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي حَتَّى أَتَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُ هَذَا عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بَصُرَ عَيْنِي وَسَمِعَ أُذُنِي قَالَ فَمَا نَسِيتُ قَوْلَهُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَبَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلَّا سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَلَا تُشِفُّوا أَحَدَهُمَا عَلَى الْآخَرِ وَلَا تَبِيعُوا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ  

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said, 'The dinar should be exchanged for a dinar, and the dirham should be exchanged for a dirham. There is no difference between them. Abdullah then walked with Nafi' until he entered upon Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him. He said, 'I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The dinar should be exchanged for a dinar, and the dirham should be exchanged for a dirham, weight for weight, with no difference between them. And a deferred payment cannot be exchanged for a lump sum payment.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الدِّينَارُ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَمَشَى عَبْدُ اللهِ وَمَعَهُ نَافِعٌ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ بَصُرَ عَيْنِي وَسَمِعَ أُذُنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الدِّينَارُ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَا يُبَاعُ عَاجِلٌ بِآجِلٍ  

[Machine] He heard from the Prophet ﷺ something, he said: 'Umar said: Do not sell gold for gold, nor silver for silver, except like for like, equal for equal, and do not defer payment of one debt with another debt. Verily, I fear for you the ruin.' I asked Nafi', "What is the ruin?" He said, "Interest."  

يَسْمَعْ فِيهِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَيْئًا قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ لَا تَبَايَعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَلَا الْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ وَلَا تُشِفُّوا بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمُ الرَّمَاءَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ وَمَا الرَّمَاءَ؟ قَالَ الرِّبَا قَالَ فَحَدَّثَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ حَدِيثًا قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ هَذَا حَدَّثَ عَنْكَ حَدِيثَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ مَا هُوَ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعَ أُذُنَايَ وَبَصُرَ عَيْنِي قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ حِيَالَ عَيْنَيْهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَا تَبَايَعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَلَا تَبَايَعُوا الْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ وَلَا تَبِيعُوا شَيْئًا مِنْهَا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ وَلَا تُشِفُّوا بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ  

[Machine] Regarding this, the goldsmith began to reply to him, and Ibn Umar forbade him until they reached the gate of the mosque to a mount that he would ride. Ibn Umar said, "Dinar for dinar, and dirham for dirham. There is no difference between them. This is the covenant of our Prophet ﷺ with us and our covenant with you." In another narration by Salim and Nafi', it indicates that Ibn Umar did not hear anything from the Prophet ﷺ regarding this, but he only heard it from his father, then from Abu Sa'eed.  

عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَجَعَلَ الصَّائِغُ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ وَابْنُ عُمَرَ يَنْهَاهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَى دَابَّةٍ يَرْكَبُهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ الدِّينَارُ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا هَذَا عَهْدُ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ إِلَيْنَا وَعَهْدُنَا إِلَيْكُمْ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ سَالِمٍ وَنَافِعٍ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ ثُمَّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ  

"Umar said: Dinar for Dinar, Dirham for Dirham, no difference between them, this is the obligation that our Prophet enjoined upon us." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4568)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ الدِّينَارُ بِالدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا هَذَا عَهْدُ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ إِلَيْنَا وَعَهْدُنَا إِلَيْكُمْ  

[Machine] "And Al-Shafi'i narrated it in the story of Al-Sa'igh, then he said, this is a mistake. Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah narrated from Wardan Al-Rumi that he asked Ibn 'Umar, and he said, I am a man who crafts jewelry and then sells it, and I prefer in it the value of my wage or the work of my hands. Ibn 'Umar said, gold is exchanged with gold, there is no difference between them. This is the covenant of our companion to us, and our covenant to you. Al-Shafi'i meant by our companion, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. Abu Ishaq Al-Armani narrated to us, I am Shafi'i bin Muhammad, I am Abu Ja'far bin Salamah, Al-Muzani narrated to us, Al-Shafi'i mentioned it."  

وَرَوَاهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنْهُ بِطُولِهِ فِي قِصَّةِ الصَّائِغِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا خَطَأٌ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ وَرْدَانَ الرُّومِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أَصُوغُ الْحُلِيَّ ثُمَّ أَبِيعُهُ وَأَسْتَفْضِلُ فِيهِ قَدْرَ أُجْرَتِي أَوْ عَمَلِ يَدِي فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ لَا فَضْلَ بَيْنَهُمَا هَذَا عَهْدُ صَاحِبِنَا إِلَيْنَا وَعَهْدُنَا إِلَيْكُمْ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ يَعْنِي بِصَاحِبِنَا عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْأَرْمَوِيُّ أنا شَافِعُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أنا أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ ثنا الْمُزَنِيُّ ثنا الشَّافِعِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] Abu al-Abbas al-Asam narrated to us, I am al-Rabee’; al-Shafi’i informed us that he is Malik, and Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us, I am Ahmad ibn Ubayd al-Saffar. Isma'il ibn Ishaq narrated to us, Abdullah, meaning al-Qa'nabi, narrated from Malik, from Zaid ibn Aslam, from Ataa ibn Yasar, that Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan sold a cup made of gold or silver that was heavier than its weight. So Abu al-Darda' said to him, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding such a thing unless it is like for like." Muawiyah said, "I don't see anything wrong in it." Abu al-Darda' said to him, "Who will defend me against Muawiyah? I inform him about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he informs me about his opinion." Abu al-Darda' then visited Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned this to him, so Umar wrote to Muawiyah that he should not sell it except for a cup of the same weight. The narration of al-Muzani does not mention al-Rabee' from al-Shafi'i in this context, as Abu al-Darda' had come to Umar and al-Shafi'i had already mentioned it.
