[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not sell gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, salt for salt, except if they are equivalent in amount, hand to hand. But you may sell gold for silver, silver for gold, wheat for barley, barley for wheat, dates for salt, and salt for dates, hand to hand, however you wish. If one of them is increased or decreased, then he has involved in usury. It is said that this hadith is narrated by Abdullah ibn Ubayd." 10477 Abu Al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad Al-Muqri informed us. I am Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq. Yusuf ibn Ya'qub narrated to me. Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr narrated to me. Yazid ibn Zurai narrated to us. Salamah ibn Alqamah narrated to us. Muhammad ibn Sireen narrated that Muslim ibn Yasir and Abdullah ibn Ubayd told him that the meeting between Ubada and Mu'awiyah took place either during a sale or in a church. He mentioned the hadith in detail, and Muslim ibn Yasir had not heard this hadith from Ubada ibn As-Samit. He had only heard it from Abi Al-Ash'ath As-Sanaani, who had heard it from Ubada.  

البيهقي:١٠٤٧٦ – مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي وَغَيْرُهُ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ أنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَرَجُلٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

'Ubadah said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade us to sell gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates"' - one of them said: "salt for salt, " but the other did not say "unless it was equal amount for equal amount, like for like." One of them said: "Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in Riba," but the other one did not say it. "And the commanded us to sell gold for silver and silver for gold, and wheat for barley and barley for wheat, hand to hand, however we wanted.'
