4572 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ، بَاعَ سِقَايَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ وَزْنِهَا، فَقَالَ: أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا، إِلَّا مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ»

Commentary
'More than its weight': Because, apart from its gold content, the manufacturing charges of the vessel are also included in it. But in the Divine law, in the bargain of gold for gold, increase and decrease both are forbidden. Hence, the way to solve this problem is that if a gold vessel is to be purchased in exchange for gold, gold equal to the vessel should be given. And making charges ought to be given separately in the form of silver, etc.
