Hadith 8589

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ، بِمَكَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِمَرْوَانَ : أَحْلَلْتَ بَيْعَ الرِّبَا ! ، فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ : مَا فَعَلْتُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : أَحْلَلْتَ بَيْعَ الصُّكُوكِ وَقَدْ " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَيْعِ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَ " ، قَالَ : فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ مَرْوَانُ ، فَنَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِهَا ، قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ : فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى حَرَسِ مَرْوَانَ يَأْخُذُونَهَا مِنْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ .
Sulaiman bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once the use of checks became common among traders. The traders asked Marwan for permission to buy and sell through them, and he granted them permission. When Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he went to him and said: "You have permitted usurious trade, whereas the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade the sale of grain before taking possession of it." So Marwan addressed the people and forbade them from doing so. Sulaiman says that then I saw Marwan send a group of guards who began to snatch checks from the hands of those who did not resist.
