(Book 31, Hadith 35) #36377
The Prohibition of Usury and Patience in Dealing with People

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the prohibition of usury and the importance of being patient when dealing with people.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Do not sell gold for gold except like for like. Do not increase part of it over another part. Do not sell silver for silver except like for like, and do not increase part of it over another part. Do not sell some of it which is there for some of it which is not. If someone asks you to wait for payment until he has been to his house, do not leave him. I fear rama for you". Rama is usury.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ لاَ تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلاَّ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَلاَ تُشِفُّوا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلاَ تَبِيعُوا الْوَرِقَ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلاَّ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَلاَ تُشِفُّوا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلاَ تَبِيعُوا شَيْئًا مِنْهَا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ ‏.‏ وَإِنِ اسْتَنْظَرَكَ إِلَى أَنْ يَلِجَ بَيْتَهُ فَلاَ تُنْظِرْهُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمُ الرَّمَاءَ وَالرَّمَاءُ هُوَ الرِّبَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar and it talks about the prohibition of usury or riba in transactions. It also emphasizes on patience when dealing with people. Umar ibn al-Khattab warns against selling gold for gold or silver for silver except like for like, meaning that one should not increase part of it over another part. He also advises not to sell something which is there for something which is not present. Furthermore, he encourages people to wait if someone asks them to wait until they have been to their house as he fears rama or usury for them. This hadith teaches us that we should be honest in our dealings and be patient when dealing with others as Allah does not love those who are impatient and dishonest in their dealings.
