Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الرَّبْعِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْجَوْزَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُفْتِي فِي الصَّرْفِ قَالَ فَأَفْتَيْتُ بِهِ زَمَانًا قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ فَرَجَعَ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَلِمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ رَأْيٌ رَأَيْتُهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهُ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, Sulayman ibn Ali al-Rab'i narrated to us, he said: I heard Abu al-Jawza' say: I heard Ibn Abbas giving a legal ruling regarding currency exchange, so I gave rulings according to it for a time. Then I met him later and he had retracted it. I said to him: "Why?" He said: "It was only an opinion I held." Abu Sa'id al-Khudri told me that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade it.
