Chapter on Sale of Gold for Silver
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 1334 — on Sale of Gold for Silver
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بَاعَ سِقَايَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ وَزْنِهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا، إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ " . فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ : مَا أَرَى بِمِثْلِ هَذَا بَأْسًا . فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ : مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِي مِنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ، أَنَا أُخْبِرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ رَأْيِهِ : لَا أُسَاكِنُكَ بِأَرْضٍ أَنْتَ بِهَا . ثُمَّ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ : " أَنْ لَا تَبِيعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Ata bin Yasar that Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) sold a drinking vessel made of gold or silver for more gold or silver than its weight. So Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbidding this, except that he permitted selling it equal for equal. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not see any harm in it. Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Who will accept my excuse if I give Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) an answer? I am narrating to him the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he is telling me his own opinion. Now I will not stay in your land. Then Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and related this incident to him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that do not make such a sale again, except by weighing equal for equal.
