[Machine] Buy it and then buy barley with it. The boy went and took a measure and some additional barley. When Ma'mar came, the boy informed him about that. Ma'mar asked him, "Why did you do that?" Go and return it, and do not take anything unless it is like for like. For I used to hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Food should be exchanged like for like, and our food in those days was barley.'"

Ibn 'Umar said, 'The exchange of gold for gold, and silver for silver, should be equal in weight and hand-to-hand. Do not sell gold for gold which is not present, nor silver for silver which is not present, nor sell some of it hand to hand while the rest is not present, nor sell sufficient quantities of it while leaving the measuring process to be completed later.'"
