إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
احْتَجْنَا، فَأَخَذْتُ خَلْخَالَيِ امْرَأَتِي فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي اسْتُخْلِفَ فِيهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ: احْتَاجَ الْحَيُّ إِلَى نَفَقَةٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ مَعِي وَرِقًا أُرِيدُ بِهَا فِضَّةً. فَدَعَا بِالْمِيزَانِ فَوَضَعَ الْخَلْخَالَيْنِ فِي كِفَّةٍ، وَوَضَعَ الْوَرِقَ فِي كِفَّةٍ، فَشَفَّ الْخَلْخَالَانِ نَحْوًا مِنْ دَانَقٍ، فَقَرَضَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ لَكَ حَلَالٌ !: فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَحْلَلْتَهُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى لَا يُحِلُّهُ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ، وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ، الزَّائِدُ وَالْمَزِيدُ فِي النَّارِ

✧ We were in need, so I took my wife's two anklets in the year in which Abu Bakr ؓ was appointed caliph. Abu Bakr ؓ met me and said: "What is this?" I said: "The tribe is in need of spending money." He said: "I have silver coins with which I want silver." He called for a scale and placed the two anklets in one pan and the silver coins in the other. The two anklets outweighed by about a daniq, so he cut it off. I said: "O Caliph of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, it is lawful for you!" He said: "O Abu Rafi', if you make it lawful, Allah Almighty will not make it lawful. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Gold for gold, weight for weight, and silver for silver, weight for weight; the one who gives extra and the one who takes extra are in the Fire.'"
