حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ : أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْمِنْهَالِ يَقُولُ : سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ، عَنِ الصَّرْفِ ، فَقَالَ : سَلْ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ ، فَسَأَلْتُ زَيْدًا ، فَقَالَ : سَلْ الْبَرَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَا : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَرِقِ بِالذَّهَبِ دَيْنًا " .
Habib reported that he heard Abu Minhal as saying: I asked al-Bara' bin Azib (RA) about the exchange of (gold for silver or vice versa), whereupon he said: you better ask Zaid bin Arqam for he knows more than I. So I asked Zaid but he said: You better ask al-Bara' for he knows more than I. Then both of them said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the sale of silver for gold when payment is to be made in future.
