Musnad Abi Ya'la 1554 — people used to buy gold for silver on credit
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّاسُ يَشْتَرُونَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْوَرِقِ نَسِيئَةً ، قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ : أَحْسَبُهُ إِلَى الْعَطَاءِ ، فَأَتَى عَلَيْهِمْ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، فَنَهَاهُمْ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - نَهَى أَنْ نَبِيعَ الذَّهَبَ نَسِيئَةً ، وَأَنْبَأَنَا ، أَوْ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الرِّبَا .
Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that people used to buy gold for silver on credit (the narrator of the hadith, Isma'il, thinks that this credit was for a term lasting until the distribution of the state stipends). Then Sayyiduna Hisham bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) came to them, forbade them from this and said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from selling gold on credit, and he informed us that this is usury (riba)."
