عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ حَتَّى خَصَّ الْمِلْحَ قَالَ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَقُولُ شَيْئًا لِعُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ لَا أُبَالِي أَنْ أَكُونَ بِأَرْضٍ يَكُونُ فِيهَا مُعَاوِيَةُ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Gold for gold and silver for silver are equal in exchange. Even salt was specifically mentioned here. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There is no importance to what Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, (this is not a Prophetic hadith). Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not care that wherever I am, Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) is also there; I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stating this.
