Which of them is better? He replied: Soft and white kind of wheat. So he forbade him from it and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sawa) say, when he was asked about buying dry dates for fresh. The Messenger of Allah (sawa) said: Are fresh dates diminished when they become dry? The (the people) replied: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Isma'il b. Umayyah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3359)   

وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنْ يَبِسِ التَّمْرِ بِالرُّطَبِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيَنْقُصُ الرُّطَبُ إِذَا يَبِسَ؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted Al-'Araya in cases less than five Wasq. Or similar. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1301)   

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَخَّصَ فِي بَيْعِ الْعَرَايَا فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ أَوْ خَمْسَةِ أَوْسُقٍ»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he allowed the poor to sell grapes by the bunch, he said, "Al-Wasq, al-Wasqayn, ath-Thalathah, wal-Arba'ah."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَذِنَ لِلْعَرَايَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا بِخَرْصِهَا يَقُولُ «الْوَسْقُ وَالْوَسْقَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ»

[Machine] "I will not give you anything until you disbelieve in Muhammad." So I said, "I will not disbelieve in Muhammad until Allah causes you to die, then brings you back to life." He said, "If Allah causes me to die and then resurrects me, I will have wealth and children which I will give to you." So I said, "That is for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then Allah revealed the verse: "Have you seen the one who disbelieves in Our signs and says, 'I will surely be given wealth and children'?" (Quran 19:77)  

«لَا أُعْطِيكَ حَتَّى تَكْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ» فَقُلْتُ «لَا أَكْفُرُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى يُمِيتَكَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيَكَ» قَالَ «إِذَا أَمَاتَنِي اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُنِي وَلِي مَالٌ وَوَلَدٌ أَعْطَيْتُكَ» فَقُلْتُ «ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا} » الْآيَةَ  

[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.'"  

بِعْهُ ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِهِ شَعِيرًا فَذَهَبَ الْغُلَامُ وَأَخَذَ صَاعًا وَزِيَادَةَ بَعْضِ صَاعٍ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَعْمَرٌ أَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْمَرٌ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ انْطَلَقَ فَرُدَّهُ وَلَا تَأْخُذْ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الطَّعَامُ بِالطَّعَامِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَكَانَ طَعَامُنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ الشَّعِيرَ»  

"Dinar for Dinar Dirham for Dirham, no difference between them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4567)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said ­- and on one occasion Sufyan said: ['Umar] heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say ­ “Gold for silver is riba unless it is exchanged on the spot [lit. ‘this for that'), wheat for wheat is riba unless it is exchanged on the spot, barley for barley is riba unless it is exchanged on the spot, dates for dates is riba unless it is exchanged on the spot.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 162)   

يَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللَّهِ لَا تُفَارِقُهُ حَتَّى تَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الذَّهَبُ بِالْوَرِقِ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاءً وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاءً وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاءً وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاءً»

[Machine] There were people who were trading silver items in a market for food and provisions. Ubada said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited trading gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt unless it is done hand to hand. Whoever exceeds or is exceeded has engaged in usury."  

كَانَ أُنَاسٌ يَتَبَايَعُونَ آنِيَةَ فِضَّةٍ فِي مَغْنَمٍ إِلَى الْعَطَاءِ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى»

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَلَا تُشِفُّوا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَبِيعُوا الْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَلَا تُشِفُّوا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَبِيعُوا شَيْئًا مِنْهَا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ»  

[Machine] Abu Sa'id al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Nafi' set out while I was with them until we entered upon Abu Sa'id al-Khudri. Ibn 'Umar said to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, 'Have you heard anything from this man regarding a Hadith in which you narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' Abu Sa'id al-Khudri replied, 'What is it?' 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.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gold is to be exchanged for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt, like for like, hand in hand. So, if these species differ, then sell as you wish if it is hand to hand."

l brought some dinars of mine and wanted to exchange them. Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah met me and we agreed to an exchange. Then he took them and said: Wait until my storekeeper comes - Abu ʿAmir said. From al-Ghalal (a place). And he said concerning it. All of it should be ‘Take this’ and ʿtake thisʿ [i.e., exchanged on the spot]. - I asked ‘Umar bin al-Khattab ؓ about that and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ʿSilver for gold is riba, unless it is exchanged on the spot, wheat for wheat is riba, unless it is exchanged on the spot; barley for barley is riba, unless it is exchanged on the spot dates for dates is ribu unless it is exchanged on the spot.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 314)   

عُمَرُ لَا تُفَارِقْهُ لَا تُفَارِقْهُ حَتَّى تُنْقِدَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الذَّهَبُ بِالْوَرِقِ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاتِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاتِ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاتِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ رِبًا إِلَّا هَاءً وَهَاتِ»

Rather sell your dates and but what you need of these," (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4554)

[Machine] The translation of the given sentence into English is: "The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, 'If a person becomes bankrupt and finds his merchandise in front of him, then he has more right to it than the creditors.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَفْلَسَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَجَدَ الْبَائِعُ سِلْعَتَهُ بِعَيْنِهَا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا دُونَ الْغُرَمَاءِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When a man is executed and his merchandise is found in his possession, then the one who bought it rightfully owns it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُعْدِمَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَجَدَ الْبَائِعُ مَتَاعَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ  

[Machine] "The black (person), if you wish, I can delay (it) for you, for indeed there were rights upon us in this payment." So the merchant said to him, "You are not doing (it)," so the black (person) paid him five hundred dirhams. Then, when he received it, the merchant said to him, "Abandon it, take it," so the black (person) said to him, "I asked you for this and you refused." So the merchant said to him, "Indeed, I have heard you speaking to us about Abdullah bin Mas'ood, that the Prophet ﷺ used to say, 'Whoever loans to Allah twice, he will have the reward of one (loan) if he gives it in charity.'"  

الْأَسْوَدُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخَّرْتُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا حُقُوقٌ فِي هَذَا الْعَطَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ لَسْتَ فَاعِلًا فَنَقَدَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ خَمْسَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ حَتَّى إِذَا قَبَضَهَا قَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ دُونَكَهَا فَخُذْ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ قَدْ سَأَلْتُكَ هَذَا فَأَبَيْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُكَ تُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَقْرَضَ اللَّهَ مَرَّتَيْنِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ أَحَدِهِمَا لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ»  

"Maimunah used to take out loans frequently, and some of her family criticized her and denounced her for that. She said: 'I will not stop taking loans, for I heard my close friend and my beloved say: "There is no one who takes out a loans, and Allah knows that he intends to pay it back, but Allah will pay it back for him in this world." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4686)   

لَهَا أَهْلُهَا فِي ذَلِكَ وَوَجَدُوا عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا أَتْرُكُ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدَّانُ دَيْنًا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ قَضَاءَهُ إِلَّا أَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا»  

The prophet said: "A man used to lend to people, but if he realized that someone was going through hardship, he would say to his slave: 'Let him off, perhaps Allah, the Most High, will let us off.' And when he met Allah, He let him off." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4695)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَجُلٌ تَاجِرٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَإِذَا رَأَى إِعْسَارَ الْمُعْسِرِ» قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ تَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَلَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُ»  

"There was a man who never did any good deed, but he used to lend to people and he would say to this messenger: "Take what can be paid easily and leave what is difficult, let them off, and perhaps Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said to him: 'Did you ever do any good did? He said: No, but I had a slave and I used to lend to people. When I sent him to collect the debts I said to him: Take what can he paid easily and leave what is difficult; let them off, and perhaps Allah will let us off. Allah, the Most High, said: 'I have let you off."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4694)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ وَكَانَ يُدَاينُ النَّاسُ» فَيَقُولُ لِرَسُولِهِ خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا تَعَسَّرَ وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا قَالَ فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكُنْتُ أُدَاينُ النَّاسَ فَإِذَا بَعَثْتُهُ لِيَتَقَاضَى قُلْتُ لَهُ خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا تَعَسَّرَ وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَدْ قَالَ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْكَ  

[Machine] I and my father went out to seek knowledge in this neighborhood from the Ansar before they perish. The first person we met was Abu Al-Yasir, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and with him was his son. Abu Al-Yasir was wearing a cloak, as were his guests, and his son was also wearing a cloak. My father said to him, "I see anger on your face." He replied, "Indeed, I had some wealth that belonged to so-and-so, the thief. So I went to his family and asked them, 'Is it accepted?' They said, 'No.' Then his son came out to me, so I asked him, 'Where is your father?' He said, 'He heard your voice and came out. I told him to come out, for I knew where you were.' Then he came out and I asked him, 'What made you hide?' He said, 'I swear by Allah, I wanted to talk to you and not lie to you. I was afraid that if I spoke to you, I would then lie to you and break my promise. And you were the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and by Allah, I was in a difficult situation.' I asked, 'By Allah?' He replied, 'By Allah.' I asked again, 'By Allah?' He replied, 'By Allah.' Then he reached for his scriptures and erased them. He said, 'If you find a just cause, then judge accordingly. Otherwise, you are in a permissible state. I bear witness with my eyes to this oath, and my heart confirms it.' He pointed to the veins on his chest and said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever protects the rights of a debtor in financial difficulty, Allah will protect him in His shade."'  

خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي نَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ فِي هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَهْلِكُوا فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِيَنَا أَبُو الْيَسَرِ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ غُلَامٌ لَهُ وَعَلَى أَبِي الْيَسَرِ بُرْدَةٌ وَمَعَافِرِيٌّ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ بُرْدَةٌ وَمَعَافِرِيٌّ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَضَبٍ قَالَ أَجَلْ كَانَ لِي عَلَى فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ الْحَرَامِيِّ مَالٌ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَثَمَّتْ؟ قَالُوا لَا فَخَرَجَ عَلَيَّ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ أَبُوكَ؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ صَوْتَكَ فَدَخَلَ فَقُلْتُ اخْرُجْ إِلَيَّ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنِ اخْتَبَأْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا وَاللَّهِ أُحَدِّثُكَ ثُمَّ لَا أَكْذِبُكَ خَشِيتُ وَاللَّهِ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكَ فَأَكْذِبَكَ وَأَعِدَكَ فَأُخْلِفَكَ وَكُنْتَ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُنْتُ وَاللَّهِ مُعْسِرًا قَالَ قُلْتُ آللَّهِ؟ قَالَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ آللَّهِ؟ قَالَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ بِصَحِيفَتِهِ فَمَحَاهَا وَقَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَ قَضَاءً فَاقْضِ وَإِلَّا فَأَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ فَأَشْهَدُ بَصُرَ عَيْنَايَ هَاتَانِ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي وَأَشَارَ إِلَى نِيَاطِ قَلْبِهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا أَوْ وَضَعَ لَهُ أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ»  

Whoever is easy with (a debtor) who is in difficulty, Allah will be easy with him in this world and in the Hereafter.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2417)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There was a man who used to lend money to people. When a debtor faced financial difficulty, he would say to his servant, 'Let him go, maybe Allah will forgive us.' So, when he met Allah, He forgave him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَإِذَا أَعْسَرَ الْمُعْسِرُ قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا فَلَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُ»  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man among those before you was called to reckon and nothing good was found with him. Except that he was a wealthy man so he used to mix with the pople and he would tell his servant to be lenient with the insolvent. So Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, said: 'We are more worthy of that than him, so be lenient with him.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1307)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا مُوسِرًا فَكَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ فَيَقُولُ لِغُلَامِهِ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ»  

"Ka'b!" He said: "At your service, Messenger of Allah." Thereupon he made a gesture with is hand indicating: Remit half the debt due to you. Ka'b said: "I shall do so, Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said: "Get up and discharge" (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3595)  

أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ وَنَادَى كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ «يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ» قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ قَالَ كَعْبٌ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ»
