Malik bin Aws bin al-Hadathan said: I came with a hundred dinars wanting to exchange them. Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We have coins, but wait for our treasurer; he is about to come from al-Ghabah. And Talhah took the hundred dinars from me. I asked Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not part from him, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Selling gold for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley and dates for dates is usury, except in a hand-to-hand exchange." Sufyan said: When al-Zuhri came to us, I checked (his narration), and he did not mention these words. The narrator said: I heard al-Zuhri say: I heard Malik bin Aws bin al-Hadathan say: I heard Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) say that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Selling gold for silver is usury," and he mentioned it exactly the same way.
Sufyan said: This is the most authentic hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on this matter, that is, on exchange (sarf).
