4569. It was narrated from Sulaimân bin 'Alî: "Abû Al-Mutawakkil passed by them in the market and some people, including me, stood up to greet him. We said: 'We have come to you to ask you about transactions.' He said: 'I heard a man say to Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî: 'Is there anyone between you and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ (in the chain of narrators) apart from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî?' He said: 'There is no one else between him and I. He said: Gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, salt for salt, equal amounts. Whoever gives more than that or takes more has engaged in Ribâ, and the taker and the giver are the same.'" (Sahîh)
