حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ لَا يَشِفُّ بَعْضُهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَبِيعُوا الْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ لَا يَشِفُّ بَعْضُهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَا تَبِيعُوا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ.
