Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 6550

وَعَنْ بِلَالٍ قَالَ : كَانَ عِنْدِي تَمْرٌ فَبِعْتُهُ فِي السُّوقِ بِتَمْرٍ أَجْوَدَ مِنْهُ بِنِصْفِ كَيْلِهِ فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ الْيَوْمَ تَمْرًا أَجْوَدَ مِنْهُ . مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا يَا بِلَالُ ؟ " . فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِمَا صَنَعْتُ فَقَالَ : " انْطَلِقْ ، فَرُدَّهُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ ، وَخُذْ تَمْرَكَ ، فَبِعْهُ بِحِنْطَةٍ ، أَوْ شَعِيرٍ ، ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِهِ مِنْ هَذَا التَّمْرِ " . فَفَعَلْتُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ . وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ . وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ . وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ . وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ . فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَهُوَ رِبًا " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ بِنَحْوِهِ وَزَادَ : " فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّوْعَانِ فَلَا بَأْسَ ، وَاحِدٌ بِعَشَرَةٍ " . وَرِجَالُ الْبَزَّارِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ بِلَالٍ ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ سَعِيدٌ مِنْ بِلَالٍ . وَلَهُ فِي الطَّبَرَانِيُّ أَسَانِيدُ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ بِلَالٍ بِاخْتِصَارٍ ، عَنْ هَذَا ، وَرِجَالُهَا ثِقَاتٌ ، وَبَعْضُهَا مِنْ رِوَايَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، عَنْ بِلَالٍ بِنَحْوِ الْأَوَّلِ ، وَإِسْنَادُهَا ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I had some dates. I sold them in the market for dates finer than them and received half their quantity. Then I brought them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: I have not seen dates as fine as these today. O Bilal! Where have these come from? I told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what I had done, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go! Return these dates to their owner and take back your dates, then sell those dates for wheat or barley, and then buy these dates with that. I did so, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Dates for dates are to be exchanged like for like; wheat for wheat like for like; barley for barley like for like; salt for salt like for like; silver for silver like for like by weight. Whatever extra payment there is will count as usury (riba)."
Al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded something similar. He added these words: "When the two sides are two different things, then there is no harm, even if it is one for ten." The narrators of al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih; however, he recorded it as a narration of Sa'id bin al-Musayyab from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sa'id did not hear from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him). This report also has some chains in al-Tabarani, some of which state that it is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him); these narrations are shorter than this one, and their narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). Other narrations are reported from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), similar to the first narration, but their chain is da'if (weak).
