tabarani:459ʿAbdān b. Aḥmad

[Machine] "O people, there is no harm in conducting transactions as long as they are mutual. The only form of usury is when it involves unfairness. The word of usury has spread among the people of the East and the West until Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri entered and said, 'O Ibn Abbas, have you engaged in usury and benefited from it?' Ibn Abbas replied, 'Did I do that?' Abu Sa'id said, 'Yes, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Gold for gold, equal for equal, weight for weight, and silver for silver, equal for equal, weight for weight. Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in usury."' This continued until the following year, when Ibn Abbas came and I accompanied him. He praised and thanked Allah, and then said, 'O people, I spoke with a word based on my own opinion last year, and I seek Allah's forgiveness for it and repent to Him. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Gold for gold, equal for equal, weight for weight. Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in usury."' He repeated these six types of transactions to them."
