حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ , أَنَّ بُسْرَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَهُ , عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : أَنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ غُلَامًا لَهُ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ قَمْحٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : بِعْهُ , ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِهِ شَعِيرًا ، فَذَهَبَ الْغُلَامُ فَأَخَذَ صَاعًا وَزِيَادَةَ بَعْضِ صَاعٍ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَعْمَرًا ، أَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْمَرٌ : أَفَعَلْتَ ؟ انْطَلِقْ فَرُدَّهُ ، وَلَا تَأْخُذْ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ , فَإِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " الطَّعَامُ بِالطَّعَامِ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ " ، وَكَانَ طَعَامُنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ الشَّعِيرَ ، قِيلَ : فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلَهُ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُضَارِعَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Muammar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he gave one of his slaves a sa’ (a measure) of wheat and said, "Sell it and buy barley with whatever money you get." The slave went and brought back a sa’ and a little more, and informed Hazrat Muammar (may Allah be pleased with him) about it. Hazrat Muammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "Did you really do this? Take it back and return it, and only make an equal-for-equal transaction, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that food should be exchanged for food in equal measure, and in those days our food was barley." Someone said, "This is not its equivalent." He replied, "I fear that it is similar to it."
