أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتِيکٍ قَالَا جَمَعَ الْمَنْزِلُ بَيْنَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ عُبَادَةُ قَالَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْهُ الْآخَرُ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالْوَرِقَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْبُرَّ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالْبُرِّ يَدًا بِيَدٍ کَيْفَ شِئْنَا قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوْ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَی
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4575
It was narrated that Muslim bin Yasar and ‘Abdullah bin ‘AtIk said: “Ubadah bin As-Samit and Muawiyah met at a stopping place on the road. ‘Ubadah told them: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade selling gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates” — one of them said: “salt for salt,” but the other did not say it — “unless it was like for like, hand to hand. And he commanded us to sell gold for silver and silver for gold, and wheat for barley and barley for wheat, hand to hand, however we wanted.” And one of them said: “Whoever gives more or asks for more has engaged in Riba.” (Sahih)
