English translation
3939, 3940. Narrated Abū Al-Minhāl 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Muṭ'im: A partner of mine sold some Dirham on credit in the market. I said, "Glorified be Allāh! Is this legal?" He replied, "Glorified be Allāh! By Allāh, when I sold them in the market, nobody objected to it." Then I asked Al-Barā' bīn 'Azīb (about it) he said, "We used to make such a transaction when the Prophet ﷺ came to Al-Madīna. So he (ﷺ) said, 'There is no harm in it if it is done from hand to hand (and equal in weight), but it is not allowed on credit.' Go to Zaid bin Al-Arqam and ask him about it for he was the greatest trader of all of us.” So I asked Zaid bin Al-Arqam, and he said the same (as Al-Barā’).” [See Vol. 3, Hadith No.2174]
