"عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ: نَهَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْوَرِقِ (بالْوَرِقِ) () إلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَوِ الزُّبَيْرُ: إِنَّهَا تُزَيَّفُ عَلَيْنَا الأَوْزَانَ فَنُعطِى الْخَبِيثَ وَنَأَخُذُ الطَّيِّبَ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَفْعَلُوا وَلكِنِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَبِعْ وَرِقَكَ بِثَوْبٍ أَوْ عَرَضٍ، فَإذَا قَبَضْتَهُ وَكَانَ لَكَ فَبِعْهُ وَاهْضِمْ مَا شِئتَ وَخُذْ مَا شِئْتَ".

"On the authority of Ibn Sirin, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab forbade silver for silver except equal amount for equal amount. 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf or al-Zubayr said to him: The weights are being counterfeited against us, so we give the bad and take the good. He said: Do not do that, but go to al-Baqi' and sell your silver for a garment or goods. Then when you have received it and it is yours, sell it and take what you wish and leave what you wish."
