أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ بَاعَ شَرِيکٌ لِي وَرِقًا بِنَسِيئَةٍ فَجَائَنِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي فَقُلْتُ هَذَا لَا يَصْلُحُ فَقَالَ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ بِعْتُهُ فِي السُّوقِ وَمَا عَابَهُ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ فَأَتَيْتُ الْبَرَائَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَنَحْنُ نَبِيعُ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ فَقَالَ مَا کَانَ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَمَا کَانَ نَسِيئَةً فَهُوَ رِبًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي ائْتِ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4590
It was narrated that Abu Al Minhal said: “Shank sold some silver on credit for me. He came to me and told me. And I said: ‘This is not correct.’ He said: ‘By Allah, I did this transaction in the market and no one criticized me.’ So I went to Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib and asked him about that. He said: ‘The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to us in Al Madinah and we used to do this kind of transaction, but he said: Whatever is hand to hand, there is nothing wrong with it, but whatever is on credit, is Ribd. Then he said to me: ‘Go to Zaid bin Arqam.’ So I went to him and asked him, and he said the same thing.” (Sahih).
