Hadith 3354
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل وَاحِدٌ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَبِيعُ الْإِبِلَ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَأَبِيعُ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ وَآخُذُ الدَّرَاهِمَ وَأَبِيعُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ وَآخُذُ الدَّنَانِيرَ ، آخُذُ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ وَأُعْطِي هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، رُوَيْدَكَ أَسْأَلُكَ إِنِّي أَبِيعُ الْإِبِلَ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَأَبِيعُ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ ، وَآخُذُ الدَّرَاهِمَ ، وَأَبِيعُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ ، وَآخُذُ الدَّنَانِيرَ آخُذُ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ ، وَأُعْطِي هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهَا بِسِعْرِ يَوْمِهَا مَا لَمْ تَفْتَرِقَا وَبَيْنَكُمَا شَيْءٌ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: I used to sell camels at al-Baqi for dinars and take dirhams for them, and sell for dirhams and take dinars for them. I would take these for these and give these for these. I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was in the house of Hafsah. I said: Messenger of Allah, take it easy, I shall ask you (a question): I sell camels at al-Baqi'. I sell (them) for dinars and take dirhams and I sell for dirhams and take dinars. I take these for these, and give these for these. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: There is no harm in taking them at the current rate so long as you do not separate leaving something to be settled.
Hadith 3355
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ بِسِعْرِ يَوْمِهَا .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Simak (b. Harb) with a different chain of narrators and to the same effect. The first version is more perfect. It does not mention the words "at the current rate".
