إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، ثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ أَبُو الْمُعَلَّى، ثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الرَّقَاشِيُّ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ فَجَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْجَامِعِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا تَنْهَوْنَ شَيْخَكُمْ هَذَا - يَعْنِي الْحَسَنَ بْنَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ - يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ مَا يُبَايِعُ النَّاسُ يَدًا بِيَدٍ الْفِضَّةَ بِالْفِضَّةِ، وَالذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ حَرَامٌ، وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَحَلَّهُ. قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: وَيْحَكَ ! مَا تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَأَنْتَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَامَ عَلَيْكَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا حَاجَتُكُمْ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ عَنِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ، فَقُلْتُ: اذْهَبْ، فَإِنَّهُ يَزْعُمُ أَنْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ، فَكَشَفَ عِمَامَتَهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فَقَالَ: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ، وَاللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ مَا تَبَايَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ إِلَّا حَلَالٌ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حَفِظَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَمْ أَحْفَظْ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ

✧ Ikrimah, the freedman of Ibn Abbas ؓ, came to Basra and we sat with him in the congregational mosque. He said: "Will you not forbid this old man of yours—meaning al-Hasan b. Abi al-Hasan—who claims that what people exchange hand to hand, silver for silver and gold for gold, is forbidden, while I testify that Ibn Abbas ؓ permitted it?" Abu Sa'id said: I said to him: "Woe to you! Do you not know that I was sitting at his head and you at his feet when a man came and stood before you. I said: 'What do you need?' He said: 'I want to ask Ibn Abbas ؓ about gold for gold.' I said: 'Go, for he claims there is no harm in it.' He uncovered his turban from his face, then Ibn Abbas ؓ sat up and said: 'I seek forgiveness from Allah. By Allah, I used to think that whatever Muslims exchange hand to hand is lawful, until I heard Abd Allah b. Umar and Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ preserve from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what I did not preserve. I seek forgiveness from Allah.'"
