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.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى الآخِذُ وَالْمُعْطِي فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gold is to be paid for with gold, raw and coined, silver with silver, raw and coined (in equal weight), wheat with wheat in equal measure, barley with barley in equal measure, dates with dates in equal measure, salt by salt with equal measure; if anyone gives more or asks more, he has dealt in usury. But there is no harm in selling gold for silver and silver (for gold), in unequal weight, payment being made on the spot. Do not sell them if they are to be paid for later. There is no harm in selling wheat for barley and barley (for wheat) in unequal measure, payment being made on the spot. If the payment is to be made later, then do not sell them. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Sa'id b. Abi 'Arubah, Hisham al-Dastawa'i and Qatadah from Muslim b. Yasar through his chain.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ تِبْرُهَا وَعَيْنُهَا وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ تِبْرُهَا وَعَيْنُهَا وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ مُدْىٌ بِمُدْىٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ مُدْىٌ بِمُدْىٍ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ مُدْىٌ بِمُدْىٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مُدْىٌ بِمُدْىٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَلاَ بَأْسَ بِبَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْفِضَّةُ أَكْثَرُهُمَا يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَأَمَّا نَسِيئَةً فَلاَ وَلاَ بَأْسَ بِبَيْعِ الْبُرِّ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالشَّعِيرُ أَكْثَرُهُمَا يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَأَمَّا نَسِيئَةً فَلاَ

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Gold for gold, kind for kind; silver for silver, kind for kind; dried-dates for dried-dates, kind for kind; wheat for wheat, kind for kind; salt for salt, kind for kind; and barley for barley, kind for kind. Whoever increases or seeks an increase, then he dealt with Riba. Sell gold for silver as you wish, hand to hand; and sell wheat for dried-dates as you wish, hand to hand; and sell barley for dried-dates as you wish, hand to hand." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abu Sa'eed, Abu Hurairah, Bilal, And Anas.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى بِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَبِيعُوا الْبُرَّ بِالتَّمْرِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَبِيعُوا الشَّعِيرَ بِالتَّمْرِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ يَدًا بِيَدٍ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَبِلاَلٍ وَأَنَسٍ

News of that reached 'Ubadah bin As-Samit and he stood up and repeated the Hadith, then he said: 'We will narrate what we heard from the Messenger of Allah, whether Muawiyah likes it or not."' Qatadah contradicted him, he reported it from Muslim bin Yasar, from Abu Al-=Ashath, from 'Ubadah.

عُبَادَةُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَبِيعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالْبُرَّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرَ بِالتَّمْرِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْمِلْحَ بِالْمِلْحِ وَلَمْ يَقُلِ الآخَرُ إِلاَّ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا مَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَلَمْ يَقُلِ الآخَرُ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالْوَرِقَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْبُرَّ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالْبُرِّ يَدًا بِيَدٍ كَيْفَ شِئْنَا فَبَلَغَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يُحَدِّثُونَ أَحَادِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ صَحِبْنَاهُ وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَقَامَ فَأَعَادَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ لَنُحَدِّثَنَّ بِمَا سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ رُغِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ خَالَفَهُ قَتَادَةُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ

"The messenger of Allah said: 'Gold for gold, of equal measure; silver for silver, of equal measure; salt for salt, dates for dates wheat for wheat, barley for barley, like for like. Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in Riba."' (Sahih) The wording is that of Muhammad Yaqub did not mention - "Wheat for wheat".

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ يَعْقُوبُ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ

"Ubadah bin Samit and Mu'awiyah happened to meet, either in a church or in a synagogue. 'Ubadah bin Samit narrated to them and said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from selling silver for silver, gold for gold, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, and dates for dates.'I one of them said: "And salt for salt," but the other did not say it. "And he commanded us to sell wheat for barley, or barley for wheat, hand-to-hand, however we wished."

نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْهُ الآخَرُ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ الْبُرَّ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالْبُرِّ يَدًا بِيَدٍ كَيْفَ شِئْنَا

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ prohibited selling gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, dates for dates, barley for barley, and salt for salt, except in equal amounts and at the same time. Whoever adds more or asks for more has practiced usury.

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man asked him, 'Is there anyone between you and the Prophet ﷺ other than Abu Sa'id?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, there is no one between me and the Prophet ﷺ other than Abu Sa'id.' He said, 'Gold is exchanged for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt, equal for equal. Whoever takes more or gives more has committed usury.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَمَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مَنْ زَادَ أَوْ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى الْآخِذُ وَالْمُعْطِي فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ

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 وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ سَوَاءٌ بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلٌ بِمِثْلٍ مَنْ زَادَ أَوْ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى الْآخِذُ وَالْمُعْطِي سَوَاءٌ

[AI] There were people who used to sell silver from the spoils of war in exchange for currency. Ubada ibn As-Samit narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade exchanging gold for gold, silver for silver, dates for dates, barley for barley, and salt for salt, except in equal amounts and at the same time. Whoever increases or asks for an increase has conducted usury.

كَانَ أُنَاسٌ يَبِيعُونَ الْفِضَّةَ مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ إِلَى الْعَطَاءِ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ إِلَّا سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ وَاسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى

Gold is to be paid for by gold, silver by silver, wheat by wheat, barley by barley, dates by dates, and salt by salt, like for like and equal for equal, payment being made hand to hand. If these classes differ, then sell as you wish if payment is made hand to hand. (Using translation from Muslim 1587c)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَتْ فِيهِ الْأَصْنَافُ فَبِيعُوا كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ إِذَا كَانَ يَدًا بِيَدٍ

[AI] 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."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ كَيْلًا بِكَيْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَلَا بَأْسَ بِبَيْعِ الشَّعِيرِ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ أَكْثَرُهُمَا يَدًا بِيَدٍ»

[AI] 'Ubada bin As-Samit said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade exchanging gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt except in equal amounts. Whoever adds more or accepts more has engaged in usury." And the wording is from Muhammad.

قَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى» وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ

[AI] 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.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَلَا الْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ وَلَا الْبُرَّ بِالْبُرِّ وَلَا الشَّعِيرَ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَلَا التَّمْرَ بِالتَّمْرِ وَلَا الْمِلْحَ بِالْمِلْحِ إِلَّا سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ عَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَلَكِنْ بِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالْوَرِقَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْبُرَّ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالْبُرِّ وَالتَّمْرَ بِالْمِلْحِ وَالْمِلْحَ بِالتَّمْرِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ وَنَقَصَ أَحَدُهُمَا الْمِلْحَ أَوِ التَّمْرَ وَزَادَ أَحَدُهُمَا مَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى الرَّجُلُ الْآخَرُ يُقَالُ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ 10477 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ثنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَاهُ قَالَا جَمَعَ الْمَنْزِلُ بَيْنَ عُبَادَةَ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ إِمَّا فِي بَيْعَةٍ أَوْ كَنِيسَةٍ قَالَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي الصَّرْفِ بِطُولِهِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ مِنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ إِنَّمَا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ

[AI] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: Gold is to be paid for with gold, like for like. Silver is to be paid for with silver, like for like. Grain is to be paid for with grain, like for like. Dates are to be paid for with dates, like for like. Salt is to be paid for with salt, like for like. Whoever increases or asks for more has dealt in usury, but there is no harm in buying grain with gold hand to hand. The greater amount of the two commodities should be paid as it is the correct one. This hadith is authentic and is narrated by Abu Qilabah from Abu Al-Ash'ath from 'Ubadah."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ تِبْرُهَا وَعَيْنُهَا وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَلَا بَأْسَ بِبَيْعِ الشَّعِيرِ بِالْبُرِّ يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ أَكْثَرُهُمَا هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ وَالْحَدِيثُ الثَّابِتُ صَحِيحٌ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ مَرْفُوعًا

I was in Syria (having) a circle (of friends). in which was Muslim b. Yasir. There came Abu'l-Ash'ath. He (the narrator) said that they (the friends) called him: Abu'l-Ash'ath, Abu'l-Ash'ath, and he sat down. I said to him: Narrate to our brother the hadith of Ubada b. Samit. He said: Yes. We went out on an expedition, Mu'awiya being the leader of the people, and we gained a lot of spoils of war. And there was one silver utensil in what we took as spoils. Mu'awiya ordered a person to sell it for payment to the people (soldiers). The people made haste in getting that. The news of (this state of affairs) reached 'Ubada b. Samit, and he stood up and said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding the sale of gold by gold, and silver by silver, and wheat by wheat, and barley by barley, and dates by dates, and salt by salt, except like for like and equal for equal. So he who made an addition or who accepted an addition (committed the sin of taking) interest. So the people returned what they had got. This reached Mu'awiya. and he stood up to deliver an address. He said: What is the matter with people that they narrate from the Messenger ﷺ such tradition which we did not hear though we saw him (the Holy Prophet) and lived in his company? Thereupon, Ubida b. Samit stood up and repeated that narration, and then said: We will definitely narrate what we heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ though it may be unpleasant to Mu'awiya (or he said: Even if it is against his will). I do not mind if I do not remain in his troop in the dark night. Hammad said this or something like this. (Using translation from Muslim 1587a)

نَعَمْ غَزَوْنَا غَزْوَةً وَعَلَى النَّاسِ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَغَنِمْنَا غَنَائِمَ كَثِيرَةً وَكَانَ فِيمَا غَنِمْنَا آنِيَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَجُلًا أَنَّ بَيْعَهَا فِي أَعْطِيَاتِ النَّاسِ فَسَارَعَ النَّاسُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَبَلَغَ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ ؓ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ إِلَّا سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ عَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى فَرَدَّ النَّاسُ مَا أَخَذُوا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ أَلَا مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَادِيثَ قَدْ كُنَّا نَشْهَدُهُ وَنَصْحَبُهُ وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْهَا مِنْهُ؟ فَقَامَ عُبَادَةُ ؓ فَأَعَادَ الْقِصَّةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَنُحَدِّثَنَّ بِمَا سَمِعْنَا من رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَوْ قَالَ وَإنْ رَغِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَصْحَبَهُ فِي جُنْدِهِ لَيْلَةً سَوْدَاءَ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوُهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gold should be exchanged with gold based on weight, and silver should be exchanged with silver based on weight. Salt should be exchanged with salt in equal measure, barley should be exchanged with barley in equal measure, wheat should be exchanged with wheat in equal measure, and dates should be exchanged with dates in equal measure. Anyone who adds more or asks for more has engaged in a form of usury. So, sell gold for silver hand to hand, however you wish, sell dates for salt hand to handing, and sell barley for wheat hand to hand, however you wish."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى فَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ وَالتَّمْرَ بِالْمِلْحِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالْبُرِّ يَدًا بِيَدٍ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ

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

Dates are to be paid for by dates, wheat by wheat, barley by barley, salt by salt, like for like, payment being made on the spot. He who made an addition or demanded an addition, in fact, dealt in usury except in case where their classes differ. (Using translation from Muslim 1588a)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى إِلَّا مَا اخْتَلَفَتْ أَلْوَانُهُ

Gold is to be paid for by gold, silver by silver, wheat by wheat, barley by barley, dates by dates, and salt by salt, like for like and equal for equal, payment being made hand to hand. If these classes differ, then sell as you wish if payment is made hand to hand. (Using translation from Muslim 1587c)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَتْ هَذِهِ الْأَصْنَافُ فَبِيعُوا كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ إِذَا كَانَ يَدًا بِيَدٍ

[AI] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said that gold is measured by gold in weight, and silver is measured by silver in weight, and barley is measured by barley in measure, and dates are measured by dates, and salt is measured by salt. So whoever increases or seeks to increase, then he has committed usury.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ كَيْلًا بِكَيْلٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ كَيْلًا بِكَيْلٍ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى

"التَّمْرُ بالتَّمْرِ مثْلًا بمِثْل، والحِنْطَةُ بالحِنْطَةِ مِثْلًا بمِثْل، والشعيرُ بالشعيرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْل، والمِلحُ بالمِلحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْل، والذَّهَبُ بالذهب مِثْلًا بِمِثْل وزنًا بوَزْن، والفِضَّةُ بالفِضَّةِ، مِثْلًا بِمِثْل وَزنًا بوَزْن، فما كان من فضل فهو ربا".

"الذَّهُبُ بالذَّهَبِ مِثْلًا بمثلٍ، الفِضَّةُ بالفضَّة مِثلًا بمِثْلٍ، والتَّمْرُ بالتمْرُ مِثْلًا بمِثلٍ، والبُرُّ بالبُرِّ مِثْلًا بمِثل، والمِلح بالمِلح مِثْلا بمِثل، والشَّعِيرُ بالشَّعِيرِ مِثْلًا بِمثِلٍ فمن زادَ أوَ (ازْدَادَ) فَقَدْ أرْبى. بيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بالفِضة كَيف شِئْتم يَدًا بِيَدٍ، وبيعوا البُرَّ بالتَّمْرِ كَيفِ شِئتم يَدًا بِيَدٍ وبيعُوا الشَّعِيرَ بالتَّمْر كَيف شِئْتُم يَدًا بِيَدٍ".

"الذَّهبُ بالذهب، والفضَّةُ بالفضة، والبُرُّ بِالبُرِّ، والشَّعِيرُ بالشَّعِير والتَّمْرُ بالتَّمرِ، وَالملْح بِالمِلْح، مِثْلًا يِمِثلٍ، يَدًا بِيِد، فَمَن زَادَ أَوْ اسْتَزَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى، والآخِذُ والمُعْطَى فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ".

"الذَّهَبُ بالذَّهَبِ تِبْرُهَا وَعَيها، والفِضَّةُ بالفِضَّة تِبْرهَا وَعَينُهَا، وَالبُرُّ بالبُرُّ مُدَّين بمُدَّين، والشَّعيرُ بالشَّعِير مُدَّين بمُدَّين، والتَّمْرُ بالتَّمْرُ مُدَّين بِمُدَّين والمِلحُ بالملِح مُدَّين بمدَّين، فَمَنْ زَادَ أوْ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أرْبى، وَلَا بَأس بِبَيعِ الذَّهَب بِالفِضَّةِ والفِضَّة بالذَّهَبِ أَكثَرَهما يَدًا بيَدٍ، وأما نَسيئَه فلا، ولا بَأسَ ببَيع البُرُّ بالشَّعِير، والشَّعِير بالبُرِّ أَكثَرَهما يَدًا بيدٍ وأما نسيئةً فَلَا".

"الوَرِقُ بالوَرِقِ، والذَّهَبُ بالذَّهَبِ، والتَّمْرُ بالتَّمْرِ، والبُرُّ بالبُرِّ، والشَّعِيرُ بالشَّعِير، والمِلحُ بالمِلح، عَينًا بِعَينٍ -أَوْ قَال- وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ، وَلَا بَأسَ بالدِّينَارِ بِالوَرِقِ، اثْنَينِ بِوَاحِدٍ، يَدًا بِيَدٍ، وَلَا بَأسَ بالبُرِّ بِالشَّعِير، اثْنَين بِواحِدٍ، يَدًا بِيَدٍ، وَلَا بَأسَ بالمِلح بالشَّعِيرِ، اثْنَينِ بِوَاحِدٍ، يدًا بِيَدٍ".
