وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ
أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بَاعَ سِقَايَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ وَزْنِهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا إِلاَّ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا أَرَى بِمِثْلِ هَذَا بَأْسًا فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِي مِنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنَا أُخْبِرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ رَأْيِهِ لاَ أُسَاكِنُكَ بِأَرْضٍ أَنْتَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَدِمَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ لاَ تَبِيعَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan sold a gold or silver drinking- vessel for more than its weight. Abu'dDarda said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding such sales except like for like." Muawiya said to him, "I don't see any harm in it." Abu'd-Darda said to him, "Who will excuse me from Muawiya? I tell him something from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gives me his own opinion! I will not live in the same land as you!" Then Abu'd-Darda went to Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him. Umar ibn al-Khattab therefore wrote to Muawiya, "Do not sell it except like for like, weight for weight."

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
لا أعلم أن هذه القصة عرضت لمعاوية مع أبي الدرداء إلا من هذا الوجه وإنما هي محفوظة لمعاوية مع عبادة بن الصامت والطرق متواترة بذلك عنهما
in موطأ مالك, p. 1243 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
لا أعلم هذه القصة روي أنها عرضت لمعاوية مع أبي الدرداء إلا من حديث زيد بن أسلم عن عطاء بن يسار لم يروه من وجه آخر فيما علمت وليست محفوظة معروفة إلا لمعاوية مع عبادة بن الصامت
machine translationI do not know of this story, that it happened to Muʿāwiyah with Abū al-Dardāʾ, being narrated except from the hadith of Zayd b. Aslam, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār. As far as I know, it was not narrated through any other route. It is not preserved (maḥfūẓ) or well known, except as relating to Muʿāwiyah with ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit.

ظاهر هذا الحديث الانقطاع
machine translationThe apparent state of this hadith is that it is disconnected (inqiṭāʿ).
in موطأ مالك, p. 1243 - Dāraquṭnī
رواه يحيى القطان وأصحاب الموطأ عن مالك عن زيد بن أسلم عن عطاء ابن يسار عن أبي الدرداء ورواه محمد بن الحسن وأبو قرة عن مالك عن زيد بن أسلم عن عطاء بن يسار أو سليمان بن يسار عن أبي الدرداء والصواب عن عطاء بن يسار بغير شك
machine translationYaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān and the transmitters of the Muwaṭṭaʾ narrated it from Mālik, from Zayd b. Aslam, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār, from Abū al-Dardāʾ. Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan and Abū Qurrah narrated it from Mālik, from Zayd b. Aslam, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār or Sulaymān b. Yasār, from Abū al-Dardāʾ. The correct version is from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār, without doubt.
