2260. It was narrated that Mâlik bin Aws bin Hadathân said: "I came saying. 'Who will exchange Dirham?' Talhah bin 'Ubaidullâh, who was with 'Umar bin Khattâb, said: 'Show us your gold, then come to us; when our treasure comes, we will give you your silver.' 'Umar said: 'No, by Allâh, you will give him silver (now), or give him back his gold, for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Silver for gold is usury, unless it is exchanged on the spot.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah ﷺ is one of the ten noble Companions ﷺ who were given the good news of Paradise in their life. Despite this great honor, he did not know this issue until 'Umar ﷺ gave the explanation. Therefore, being a great scholar does not mean that there is not any issue which he does not know; or that it is impossible for him to make any mistake and in any issue.
