عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، عَنْ بِلَالٍ

[Machine] "I had some dates, but I wanted to buy better quality dates than them from the market for half of their weight. So, I presented them to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, 'I have not seen better dates than these today. Where did you get these, Bilal?' I told him what I did, and he said, 'Go, return it to its owner and take your dates, then sell them for wheat or barley. Then, buy these dates with it and bring them to me.' So, I did as he instructed. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Dates should be exchanged for dates, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, salt for salt, gold for gold, silver for silver, equal for equal, like for like, and weight for weight. So, any excess is riba (usury).'"  

كَانَ عِنْدِي تَمْرٌ دُونٌ فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مِنَ السُّوقِ تَمْرًا أَجْوَدَ مِنْهُ بِنِصْفِ كَيْلِهِ فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا رَأَيْتُ الْيَوْمَ تَمْرًا أَجْوَدَ مِنْ هَذَا مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ هَذَا يَا بِلَالُ؟» قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِمَا صَنَعْتُ قَالَ «انْطَلِقْ فَرُدَّهُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَخُذْ تَمْرَكَ فَبِعْهُ بِحِنْطَةٍ أَوْ شَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِهِ هَذَا التَّمْرَ ثُمَّ ائْتِنِي بِهِ» قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَالذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَهُوَ رِبًا»
