Chapter 24 · The Book Of Musaqahحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْمِنْهَالِ، يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ عَنِ الصَّرْفِ، فَقَالَ: سَلْ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ، فَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ، فَسَأَلْتُ زَيْدًا، فَقَالَ: سَلِ الْبَرَاءَ، فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، ثُمَّ قَالَا: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ بِالذَّهَبِ دَيْنًا».

I asked al-Bara' bin Azib رضی اللہ عنہ about the exchange of (gold for silver or vice versa), whereupon he said: you better ask Zaid bin Arqam رضی اللہ عنہ for he knows more than I. So I asked Zaid but he said: You better ask al-Bara' for he knows more than I. Then both of them said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade the sale of silver for gold when payment is to be made in future.
