English translation
3814. Narrated Abū Burda: When I came to Al-Madīna, I met 'Abdullāh bin Salām رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. He said, "Will you come to me so that I may serve you with Sawīq (i.e., powdered barley) and dates, and let you enter a (blessed) house that in which the Prophet ﷺ entered?" Then he added, "You are in a country where the practice of Ribā(1) is prevalent; so if somebody owes you something and he sends you a present of a load of chopped straw, or a load of barley, or a load of provender then do not take it, as it is Ribā."
