٢٢۔١٦ باب النَّهْىِ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ، بِالذَّهَبِ دَيْنًا

(1022) bukhari:2180Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > Ḥabīb b. Abū Thābit > Abū al-Minhāl > Saʾalt al-Barāʾ b. ʿĀzib And Zayd b. Arqam > al-Ṣarf Fakul Wāḥid Minhumā > Hadhā Khayr Minnī Fakilāhumā

I asked Al-Bara' bin ʿAzib and Zaid bin Arqam about money exchanges. Each of them said, "This is better than I," and both of them said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the selling of silver for gold on credit. "  

(١٠٢٢) البخاري:٢١٨٠حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ وَزَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ؓ

عَنِ الصَّرْفِ فَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا يَقُولُ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنِّي فَكِلاَهُمَا يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالْوَرِقِ دَيْنًا  

(1023) bukhari:2182ʿImrān b. Maysarah > ʿAbbād b. al-ʿAwwām > Yaḥyá b. Abū Isḥāq > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Bakrah from his father

that his father said, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade the selling of gold for gold and silver for silver except if they are equivalent in weight, and allowed us to sell gold for silver and vice versa as we wished."  

(١٠٢٣) البخاري:٢١٨٢حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلاَّ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبْتَاعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ كَيْفَ شِئْنَا وَالْفِضَّةَ بِالذَّهَبِ كَيْفَ شِئْنَا
