Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، قَالَ: بَلَغَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَأْثُرُ حَدِيثًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّرْفِ؟ فَأَخَذَ يَدِي، فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ وَالرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ: مَا حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ تَأْثُرُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّرْفِ؟ فَقَالَ: سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ، وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ، إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ، وَلَا الْفِضَّةَ بِالْفِضَّةِ، إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ، وَلَا تُفَضِّلُوا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَلَا تَبِيعُوا مِنْهَا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ " (٢)،

English translation

Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man was narrating to Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) a hadith from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the buying and selling of gold and silver. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took my hand and that man’s hand, and we went to Abu Sa’id (may Allah be pleased with him). He stood up to welcome Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: “He has narrated to me a hadith, and according to him, you narrated this hadith to him from the Prophet (ﷺ). Did you really hear this hadith from the Prophet (ﷺ)?” He replied: “I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: ‘Sell gold for gold and silver for silver, equal for equal. Do not increase or decrease, and do not sell something absent for something present among them.’”
