Selling Gold & Silver Hand To Hand

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade the sale of gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley and dates for dates unless it was equal amount for equal amount. He commanded to sell gold and silver hand to hand however one wanted.

Muslim bin Yasar and 'Abdullah bin 'Ubaid said: "Ubadah bin As-Samit and Muawiyah met at a stopping place on the road'.Ubadah said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade us to sell gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates"' - one of them said: "salt for salt, " but the other did not say "unless it was equal amount for equal amount, like for like". One of them said: "Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in Riba," but the other one did not say it".And the commanded us to sell gold for silver and silver for gold, and wheat for barley and barley for wheat, hand to hand, however we wanted'. News of this hadith reached Muawiyah and he stood up and said: 'What is the matter with men who narrate Hadiths from the Messenger of Allah when we accompanied him and we never heard him say it? News of that reached 'Ubadah bin As-Samit and he stood up and repeated the Hadith, then he said: 'We will narrate what we heard from the Messenger of Allah, whether Muawiyah likes it or not"'. Qatadah contradicted him, he reported it from Muslim bin Yasar, from Abu Al-=Ashath, from 'Ubadah.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the rules of selling goods such as gold and silver in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ forbade the sale of these items if they were exchanged with each other in equal amounts like gold with gold or silver with silver unless it was an equal amount given in exchange. He also commanded that these items should be sold hand to hand however one wanted without any extra charges or interest added on top of them which is known as riba in Islamic terms. This hadith teaches us that we should not take advantage of others when trading goods but instead be fair and honest when dealing with people so that everyone can benefit equally from a transaction without any harm done to either party involved.
