Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْمِلْحِ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ الْأَوْصَافُ فَبِيعُوا كَيْفَ شِئْتُمْ إِذَا كَانَ يَدًا بِيَدٍ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, from Sufyan, from Khalid al-Hadhdha', from Abu Qilabah, from Abu al-Ash'ath al-San'ani, from Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt — like for like, hand to hand. But if the types differ, then sell as you wish, so long as it is hand to hand."
