131
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ نَبِيعَ الْفِضَّةَ بِالْفِضَّةِ إِلاَّ عَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ وَلاَ نَبِيعَ الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلاَّ عَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَبَايَعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِضَّةِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ وَالْفِضَّةَ بِالذَّهَبِ كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ " .
It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah that his father said:
"The Messenger of Allah forbade us from selling silver for silver unless it was of equal amounts, or selling gold for gold unless it was of equal amounts. The messenger of Allah said: 'Sell gold for silver however you want, and silver for gold however you want."'
