Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 12, Hadith 118

Muslim bin Yasar and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubaid said : “Ubadah bin Samit and Mu’awiyah happened to meet, either in a church or in a synagogue. ‘Ubadah bin Samit narrated to them and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us from selling silver for silver, gold for gold, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, and dates for dates.’I one of them said: “And salt for salt,” but the other did not say it. “And he commanded us to sell wheat for barley, or barley for wheat, hand-to-hand, however we wished.”

حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ خِدَاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ التَّمِيمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَاهُ قَالاَ، جَمَعَ الْمَنْزِلُ بَيْنَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ إِمَّا فِي كَنِيسَةٍ وَإِمَّا فِي بِيعَةٍ فَحَدَّثَهُمْ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ فَقَالَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ بِالْوَرِقِ وَالذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْبُرِّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرِ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرِ بِالتَّمْرِ – قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْهُ الآخَرُ – وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبِيعَ الْبُرَّ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالشَّعِيرَ بِالْبُرِّ يَدًا بِيَدٍ كَيْفَ شِئْنَا ‏.‏
