Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَبْتَاعَ الْفِضَّةَ بِالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبَ بِالذَّهَبِ إِلَّا سَوَاءً بِسَوَاءٍ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَبْتَاعَ الْفِضَّةَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالذَّهَبَ فِي الْفِضَّةِ كَيْفَ شِئْنَا فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَابِتُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ يَدًا بِيَدٍ قَالَ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ.

Isma'il narrated to us: Yahya b. Abi Ishaq narrated to us: 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakra narrated to us, who said: Abu Bakra said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade us to sell silver for silver and gold for gold except equal for equal, and he commanded us to sell silver for gold and gold for silver however we wished. Thabit b. 'Ubayd said to him: "Hand to hand?" He said: "That is how I heard it."
