"And he commanded us to sell wheat for barley, or barley for wheat, hand-to-hand, however we wished." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2254)

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. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4562)

[Machine] 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.

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)
