Sunan an-Nasai 4564 (Book 44, Hadith 116) #19097
Exchange of Goods with Equal Measure

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that when exchanging goods, it should be done with equal measure and not to give or take more than what is due.

It was narrated that 'Ubadah bin As-Samit said: "The messenger of Allah said: 'Gold for gold, of equal measure; silver for silver, of equal measure; salt for salt, dates for dates wheat for wheat, barley for barley, like for like. Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in Riba"'. (Sahih) The wording is that of Muhammad Yaqub did not mention - "Wheat for wheat".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ تِبْرُهُ وَعَيْنُهُ وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ وَالتَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْبُرُّ بِالْبُرِّ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ يَعْقُوبُ ‏"‏ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for fairness and justice in our dealings while exchanging goods.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of fairness and justice in our dealings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when exchanging goods, it should be done with equal measure and not to give or take more than what is due. This means that if someone wants to buy something from you, they must pay the exact amount for it without giving any extra money or taking away any money from the original price. If someone does this, then they are engaging in riba which is forbidden in Islam. We must always strive for fairness and justice in our dealings so as not to fall into sin.
