Sunan Ibn Majah 2257 (Book 12, Hadith 121) #31609
Prohibiting Usury and Exchanging Goods Equally

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the prohibition of usury and the importance of exchanging goods with equal value.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "I heard Abu Saeed Al-Khudri say: 'A Dirham for a Dirham and a Dinar for a Dinar'. So I said: 'I heard Ibn 'Abbas say something other than that'. He said: 'But I met Ibn 'Abbas and said: "Tell me about what you say concerning exchange is it something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah or something that You found in the Book of Allah?" He said: "I did not find it in the Book of Allah, and I did not hear it from the Messenger of Allah; rather Usamah bin Zaid told me that the Messenger of Allah said: "Usury is only in credit".1
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ الدِّرْهَمُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ وَالدِّينَارُ بِالدِّينَارِ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَقِيتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي تَقُولُ فِي الصَّرْفِ أَشَىْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ أَمْ شَىْءٌ وَجَدْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ مَا وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا الرِّبَا فِي النَّسِيئَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of usury, which is a form of financial transaction where one party lends money to another at an interest rate that exceeds what was originally borrowed. It also emphasizes the importance of exchanging goods with equal value. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that it was wrong to take advantage of someone else's misfortune by charging them more than what they borrowed or exchanged for something else. He also taught that if someone does not have enough money to pay back a loan, then they should give charity instead as this will be more beneficial in the long run. This hadith serves as a reminder for Muslims to practice fairness in all their dealings and not take advantage of others who may be less fortunate than them financially or otherwise.
