وَفِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْفِضَّةِ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا سَوَائً بِسَوَائٍ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبْتَاعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ کَيْفَ شِئْنَا وَالْفِضَّةَ بِالذَّهَبِ کَيْفَ شِئْنَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4593
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah narrated that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade selling silver for silver and gold for gold, unless it was of equal amounts. And he told us to sell gold for silver however we wanted, and silver for gold however we wanted.” (Sahih)
