Trade fairly with others by offering an equal amount in exchange

This hadith is about the exchange of gold and silver. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ forbade selling silver for silver or gold for gold unless it was of equal amounts, but allowed exchanging one metal with the other. This means that if someone wants to buy a certain amount of either metal, they can pay in either metal as long as the amount is equal. For example, if someone wants to buy 10 grams of gold they can pay 10 grams worth in either gold or silver depending on what they have available. This hadith teaches us that we should be fair when trading goods with each other and not take advantage by offering unequal amounts in exchange.
