English translation

4581. Abû Al-Minhâl said: "I asked Al-Barâ' bin 'Âzib about money exchange. He said: 'Ask Zaid bin Arqam, for he is better than me and more knowledgeable.' So I asked Zaid and he said: 'Ask Al-Barâ' for he is better than me and more knowledgeable.' And they both said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade (selling) silver for gold on credit.'" (Sahîh)

Arabic text

4577 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، عَنِ الصَّرْفِ، فَقَالَ: سَلْ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَأَعْلَمُ، فَسَأَلْتُ زَيْدًا فَقَالَ: سَلِ الْبَرَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَأَعْلَمُ، فَقَالَا جَمِيعًا: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْوَرِقِ بِالذَّهَبِ دَيْنًا»

Commentary

'He is better than me': This is the selflessness and humility of the noble Companions that they used to consider others better and more erudite than themselves.
