حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ أَقُولُ مَنْ يَصْطَرِفُ الدَّرَاهِمَ فَقَالَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَرِنَا ذَهَبَكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِنَا إِذَا جَاءَ خَادِمُنَا نُعْطِكَ وَرِقَكَ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ كَلاَّ وَاللَّهِ لَتُعْطِيَنَّهُ وَرِقَهُ أَوْ لَتَرُدَّنَّ إِلَيْهِ ذَهَبَهُ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « الْوَرِقُ بِالذَّهَبِ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ رِبًا إِلاَّ هَاءَ وَهَاءَ ».

It was narrated from Malik bin Aws bin Al Hadathan that he said: "I was going around saying: 'Who will exchange Dirham (for my gold)?' Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah, who was with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, said: 'Show us your gold, then come to us later, when our servant comes, and we will give you your silver.' 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said: 'No, by Allah! Either give him his silver (now) or give him back his gold, for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Silver for gold is Riba, unless it is exchanged on the spot; wheat for wheat is Riba, unless it is exchanged on the spot; barley for barley is Riba, unless it is exchanged on the spot; dates for dates is Riba unless it is exchanged on the spot."
