حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ أَقُولُ مَنْ يَصْطَرِفُ الدَّرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَرِنَا ذَهَبَكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِنَا إِذَا جَاءَ خَادِمُنَا نُعْطِكَ وَرِقَكَ.

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ كَلاَّ وَاللَّهِ لَتُعْطِيَنَّهُ وَرِقَهُ أَوْ لَتَرُدَّنَّ إِلَيْهِ ذَهَبَهُ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْوَرِقُ بِالذَّهَبِ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ»

I came saying who was prepared toexchange dirhams (for my gold), whereupon Talhah ibn Ubaydullah (radiyallahu anhu) (as he was sitting with Umar ibn Khattib) said: Show us your gold and then come to us (at a later time). When our servant would come we would give you your silver (dirhams due to you). Thereupon Umar b.

al-Khattib (radiyallahu anhu) said: Not at all. By Allah, either give him his silver (coins). or return his gold to him, for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Exchange of silver for gold (has an element of) interest in it. except when (it is exchanged) on the spot; and wheat for wheat is an interest unless both are handed over on the spot: barley for barley is interest unless both are handed over on the spot; dates for dates is interest unless both are handed over on the Spot.

ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া আত তামীমী (রহঃ) ... আনাস ইবন মালিক (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, (বিদায় হজ্জের সফরে) আমরা রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সাথে মদীনাহ থেকে মাক্কার দিকে বের হলাম। (এ সফরে) রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম সব ওয়াক্তের সালাতই দু' রাকাআত করে আদায় করেছেন এবং মাদীনায় ফিরে এসেছেন।

বর্ণনাকারী ইসহাক ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া বর্ণনা করেছেন- আমি আনাস ইবনু মালিককে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, তিনি মক্কায় ক'দিন পর্যন্ত অবস্থান করেছিলেন। জবাবে আনাস ইবনু মালিক বললেনঃ দশদিন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৪৫৬, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

ہشیم نے یحییٰ بن ابی اسحاق سے ، انھوں نے حضرت انس بن مالک رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، کہا : ہم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ مدینہ سے مکہ جانے کے لئے نکلے تو آپ دو رکعت نماز پڑھتے رہے یہاں تک کہ مدینہ واپس پہنچ گئے ۔

راوی نے حضرت انس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے پوچھا : آپ مکہ کتنا عرصہ ٹھرے؟انھوں نے جواب دیا : دس دن ( آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حجۃ الوداع کے موقع پر مکہ آکر خود مکہ ، منیٰ ، عرفات اور مزدلفۃ مختلف مقامات پردس دن گزارے ۔)

Bize Yahya b. Yahya Et-Temîmî rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Hüseyni, Yahya b. Ebî İshâk'dan, o da Enes b. Mâlik'den naklen haber verdî. Enes şöyle demiş: Biz Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ile birlikde Medine'den Mekke'ye (doğru yola) çıkdık da Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) tâ dönünceye kadar namazları ikişer rek'ât kıldı. (Yahya demiş ki): Enes'e: «Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) Mekke'de ne kadar kaldı?» diye sordum; — On gün! cevâbını verdi

What it means

Mālik ibn Aws, the Tābi‘i, informs that he had gold dinars that he wanted to exchange with silver dirhams. Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Give us your dinars to see them.

Then, after deciding to buy them, he said to him: Come later when our servant comes to give you the silver dirhams. This situation took place in the presence of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him), who expressed his disapproval of such a transaction and swore that Talhah should either pay the silver now or give him back his gold that he took from him.

He justified this by saying that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that when selling silver for gold or vice versa, the exchange should be made immediately; otherwise, this will be a prohibited Riba-based transaction and an invalid sale. Thus, gold should not be sold for silver, and silver should not be sold for gold except hand to hand and with the exchange made on the spot.

Moreover, wheat should not be sold for wheat, barley should not be sold for barley, and dates should not be sold for dates except like for like, weight for weight, measure for measure, hand to hand, and nothing thereof should be sold immediately for deferred payment, and it is impermissible for the two parties to depart before the exchange is made.

What it teaches

  • The types mentioned in this Hadīth are five: gold, silver, wheat, barley, and dates. If the sale involves items of the same type, then two conditions must be fulfilled to make it valid: the exchange should be made during the contract session, and they should be of the same weight, like gold for gold, or else it is Riba al-Fadl (usury of surplus). On the other hand, if the sale involves items of different types, like silver for wheat, then one condition must be fulfilled to make the contract valid, namely receiving the price during the contract session; otherwise, it is Riba an-Nasī’ah (usury of deferred payment).
  • The contract session refers to the place where the sale is conducted, whether the two parties are sitting, walking, or riding, and departing refers to what is customarily known among people as a way of ending a meeting.
  • The prohibition in this Hadīth includes all the types of gold, coined or not, and all the types of silver, coined or not.
  • What is required when selling gold for silver should be applied to the coins of this current time, i.e., if one wants to exchange one coin for another, like exchanging one riyal for one dirham, the surplus is permissible if both parties agree; however, the exchange should be made during the sale transaction or the transaction will be invalid and it will be deemed as a prohibited Riba-based transaction.
  • Riba-based transactions are impermissible, and the contract is invalid even if the two parties agree because Islam protects man's rights and the rights of society even if he waives them.
  • Forbidding and preventing evil for whoever has the ability to do so.
  • Mentioning the evidence when forbidding evil as what ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) did.
