‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) says: I used to sell camels in the market of Baqi‘. I would sell them for dinars and take silver in exchange, and I would sell them for silver and take dinars in exchange. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and saw that he was coming out of the house of Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), so I asked him about this. He said: “There is no harm in doing so at the current price.” © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- We know this hadith as being marfu‘ only from the narration of Simak bin Harb,
2- Simak narrated it from Sa‘id bin Jubair, and Sa‘id from Ibn ‘Umar, and Dawud bin Abi Hind narrated this hadith from Sa‘id bin Jubair, and Sa‘id from Ibn ‘Umar as mawquf,
3- Some people of knowledge act upon this hadith, that if someone takes silver in exchange for gold or gold in exchange for silver, there is no harm in it. This is also the opinion of Ahmad and Ishaq,
4- And some people of knowledge among the Companions and others considered it disliked.

Note:
(The narrator "Simaak" became confused in his old age and would accept prompting. His reliable companions have reported this narration as mawquf (stopped) upon Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma.)

Benefits and Issues:
It is derived from this that the exchange of different currencies with an increase or decrease is permissible.
However, it is necessary that it be according to the prevailing market rate of that day, and the transaction must be in cash, not on credit.

Benefit:
The meaning of the hadith is that if a transaction for something was settled in dinars, and the buyer, according to the exchange rate of that day, paid the equivalent amount in dirhams, then this is permissible as long as the payment is made in that same sitting.
