3353. (There is another chain) from Faḍālah bin 'Ubaid who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the Day of Khaibar, trading with the Jews, an Uqiyah of gold for a Dinars" - someone other than Qutaibah (one of the narrators) said: "for two or three Dinars." Then the two reports concur - "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not sell gold for gold, unless it is weight for weight.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
3353 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الْجُلَاحِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي حَنَشٌ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ نُبَايِعُ الْيَهُودَ الْأُوقِيَّةَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ بِالدِّينَارِ، قَالَ: غَيْرُ قُتَيْبَةَ بِالدِّينَارَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ، - ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا -، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَبِيعُوا الذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا وَزْنًا بِوَزْنٍ»

If gold is sold for gold or silver for silver, then their quantities must be equal and the sale must take place from hand to hand (i.e. on the spot), otherwise it will be a form of Ribā (usury).
