[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from selling silver for silver except for an equal amount, and from selling gold for gold except for an equal amount. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Exchange gold for silver however you please, and exchange silver for gold however you please." Abu Abdur-Rahman narrated the news from my father, Tawbah, who came between Yahya ibn Abi Kathir and Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, Yahya ibn Abi Ishaq.
