sell that, and derive benefit out of it. He (the narrator) said: We waited for some time

ibn Yasar. There came AbulAsh"ath. He (the narrator) said that they (the friends)
called him: AbulAsh"ath, and he sat down. I said to him: Narrate to our brother the
hadith of Ubadah ibn as-Samit.
He said: Yes. We went out on an expedition, Mu"awiyah being the leader of the
people, and we gained a lot of spoils of war. And there was one silver utensil in what
we took as spoils. Mu"awiyah ordered someone to sell it to pay the people (soldiers).
The people hurried to receive it.
The news of (this state of affairs) reached Ubadah ibn as-Samit, and he stood up and
said: I heard Allah"s Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) forbidding the sale of gold for
gold, and silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt
for salt, except like for like and equal for equal. So he who made an addition or who
accepted an addition (committed the sin of taking) interest. So the people returned
what they had received.
This reached Mu"awiyah, and he stood up to deliver an address. He said: What is the
matter with people that they narrate from the Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) such
traditions which we did not hear though we saw him (the Holy Prophet) and lived in
his company? Thereupon Ubadah ibn as-Samit stood up and repeated that narration,
and then said: We definitely narrate what we heard from Allah"s Messenger
(peace_be_upon_him) even though it may be unpleasant for Mu"awiyah (or he said:
Even if it is against his will). I do not mind if I do not remain in his troop on the dark
night. Hammad said this or something like this.

by silver, wheat by wheat, barley by barley, dates by dates, salt by salt, like by like,

above that. When he came to Ma"mar he informed him about that, whereupon
Ma"mar said to him: Why did you do that? Go back and return that, and do not accept
but weight, for weight, for I used to hear from Allah"s Apostle (peace_be_upon_him)
as saying: Wheat for wheat and like for like. He (one of the narrators) said: Our food
in those days consisted of barley. It was said to him (Ma"mar) that (wheat) is not like
that (barley). He replied: I am afraid these may not be similar.

silver and gold). He said: Is it a hand to hand exchange? I said: Yes, whereupon he
said: There is no harm in it. I informed AbuSa"id about it, telling him that I had asked
Ibn Abbas about it and he said: Is it a hand to hand exchange? I said: Yes,
whereupon he said: There is no harm in it. He (the narrator) said, or he said like it:
We shall soon write to him, and he will not give you this fatwa (religious verdict).
He said: By Allah, one of the boy-servants of Allah"s Messenger
(peace_be_upon_him) brought dates, but he refused to accept them (on the plea) that
those did not seem to be the dates of our land. He said: Something had happened to
the dates of our land, or our dates. So I received these dates (in exchange by giving)
excess (of the dates of our land). Thereupon he said: You made an addition for
getting the fine dates (in exchange) which is tantamount to interest; don"t do that (in
future). Whenever you find some doubt (as regards the deteriorating quality of) your
dates, sell them, and then buy the dates that you like.

in paying off the debt.
