وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَبِيعُ الْإِبِلَ بالنقيع بِالدَّنَانِيرِ فآخذ مَكَانهَا الدارهم وأبيع بِالدَّرَاهِمِ فَآخُذُ مَكَانَهَا الدَّنَانِيرَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: «لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهَا بِسِعْرِ يَوْمِهَا مَا لَمْ تَفْتَرِقَا وَبَيْنَكُمَا شَيْءٌ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ والدارمي

‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar reported: I used to sell camels at al-Naqi‘ for dinars and take dirhams in their place; and I would sell for dirhams and take dinars in their place. I went to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and mentioned this to him. He said: ‘There is no harm in taking them at the day’s exchange rate, provided you do not part while anything remains outstanding between you.’ Al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa’i, and al-Darimi transmitted it. Its listed grading has not been studied (al-Albani).
