حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ أَبَا النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ بُسْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ غُلَامَهُ بِصَاعِ قَمْحٍ، فَقَالَ: بِعْهُ، ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِهِ شَعِيرًا، فَذَهَبَ الْغُلَامُ، فَأَخَذَ صَاعًا وَزِيَادَةَ بَعْضِ صَاعٍ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَعْمَرًا أَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْمَرٌ: لِمَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ؟ انْطَلِقْ فَرُدَّهُ، وَلَا تَأْخُذَنَّ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ، فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الطَّعَامُ بِالطَّعَامِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ»، قَالَ: «وَكَانَ طَعَامُنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ الشَّعِيرَ»، قِيلَ لَهُ: فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِمِثْلِهِ، قَالَ: «إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُضَارِعَ.

Selling Food Like for Like
He sent his slave with a sa' of wheat and said to him: Sell it, and then buy with it barley. The slave went away and he got a sa' (of barley) and a part of sa' over and above that. When he came to Ma'mar he informed him about that, whereupon Ma'mar said to him: Why did you do that? Go back and return that, and do not accept but weight, for weight, for I used to hear from Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Wheat for wheat and like for like. He (one of the narrators) said: Our food in those days consisted of barley. It was said to him (Ma'mar) that (wheat) is not like that (barley). He replied: I am afraid these may not be similar
