4563. Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Dates for dates, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, salt for salt, exchanged hand to hand. Whoever gives more or takes more has engaged in Ribâ, unless they are of different types.” (Sahîh)

Arabic text

4559 - أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ، وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ، وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ، وَالْمِلْحُ بِالْمِلْحِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ، فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوِ ازْدَادَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى، إِلَّا مَا اخْتَلَفَتْ أَلْوَانُهُ»

Commentary

‘Unless they are of different types’: For instance, exchange of dates for wheat, wheat for barley, barley for salt. In such situations, the occurrence of increase or decrease is permissible. However, the deal should be hand-to-hand or instant (such that the deal does not involve any delay in the exchange even if brief).
