أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ
أَنَّ أَبَا الْمُتَوَكِّلِ مَرَّ بِهِمْ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ أَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ قُلْنَا أَتَيْنَاكَ لِنَسْأَلَكَ عَنِ الصَّرْفِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَمَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ؟ قَالَ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ قَالَ «الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقُ بِالْوَرِقِ» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَوْ قَالَ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَالْآخِذُ وَالْمُعْطِي فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ

✧ Abu al-Mutawakkil passed by them in the market, and a group of people stood up to him, including me. He said: We said, "We have come to you to ask you about money exchange." He said, "I heard Abu Saʿīd al-Khudrī." A man said to him, "Is there anyone between you and the Prophet ﷺ other than Abu Saʿīd?" He said, "There is no one between me and him except him." He said: "Gold for gold, silver for silver"—Sulaymān said, or he said: "silver for silver"—"wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt, equal for equal. Whoever adds to that or asks for addition has committed ribā, and the taker and the giver are equal in it."
