2259 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعَ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الذَّهَبُ بِالْوَرِقِ رِبًا، إِلَّا هَاءَ وَهَاءَ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ، يَقُولُ: «الذَّهَبُ بِالْوَرِقِ، احْفَظُوا»

Commentary

The exchange of gold and silver is permissible provided the payment from both sides is made on the spot. If this condition does not exist, then the exchange of gold and silver is Islamically prohibited.
