Prohibition of Selling Gold and Silver

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad prohibited the selling of gold for gold and silver for silver unless it is equal amounts, like for like, and not to be paid later or differentiated.

It was narrated that Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: "My eyes saw and my ears heard the Messenger of Allah. And he mentioned the prohibition of (selling) gold for gold and silver for silver, unless it is equal amounts, like for like. And do not sell it in return for something to be paid later, and do not differentiate".
أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ بَصُرَ عَيْنِي وَسَمِعَ أُذُنِي، مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ النَّهْىَ عَنِ الذَّهَبِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ بِالْوَرِقِ إِلاَّ سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ ‏ "‏ وَلاَ تَبِيعُوا غَائِبًا بِنَاجِزٍ وَلاَ تُشِفُّوا أَحَدَهُمَا عَلَى الآخَرِ
