Commentary
According to some scholars this rule applies only to the following things: Gold, silver, wheat, barley, dates and salt. In the opinion of other scholars the same rule applies to all other things also, which are not mentioned in the Hadith; that it is impermissible to exchange good quality things for lower quality or vice versa, or with an amount that is less or more.
