Hadith 23968

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنِ الْجُلَاحِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حَنَشٌ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ نُبَايِعُ الْيَهُودَ الْأُوقِيَّةَ الذَّهَبَ بِالدِّينَارَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) that once in Khaybar, a necklace was presented to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), in which gold and jewels were set. This was war booty that was being sold. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the gold attached to the necklace be separated. Then he said that gold should be sold for gold with equal weight.
