Sahih al-Bukhari 2176
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ مِثْلَ، ذَلِكَ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَقِيَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، مَا هَذَا الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي الصَّرْفِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " الذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ وَالْوَرِقُ بِالْوَرِقِ مِثْلاً بِمِثْلٍ ".
Ubayd Allah ibn Sad narrated to us: My uncle narrated to us: The nephew of al-Zuhri narrated to us, from his uncle. He said: Salim ibn Abdullah narrated to me, from Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that Abu Said had related to him a similar report from the Messenger of Allah. Abdullah ibn Umar met him and said, “Abu Said, what is this that you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah?” Abu Said replied, “Regarding currency exchange, I heard the Messenger of Allah say: Gold for gold, like for like; silver for silver, like for like.”
Translation notes
The chain uses kinship descriptions, “my uncle” and “the nephew of al-Zuhri, from his uncle,” without naming those transmitters here. The report is followed by a dialogue between Ibn Umar and Abu Said about the narration on currency exchange. The Arabic says like for like and does not specify weight in this wording.
