حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَکِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا سَوَائً بِسَوَائٍ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَشْتَرِيَ الْفِضَّةَ بِالذَّهَبِ کَيْفَ شِئْنَا وَنَشْتَرِيَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ کَيْفَ شِئْنَا قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَقَالَ هَکَذَا سَمِعْتُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4073
Habib reported that he heard Abu Minhal as saying: I asked al-Bara' b. Azib about the exchange of (gold for silver or vice versa), whereupon he said: you better ask Zaid b. Arqam for he knows more than I. So I asked Zaid but he said: You better ask al-Bara' for he knows more than I. Then both of them said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade the sale of silver for gold when payment is to be made in future.
