Abu Minhal narrates: My business partner sold dirhams for dirhams in Kufa with an extra payment, so I said: I do not think this is correct. He replied: I sold them in the market and no one objected to me. So I went to Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about this matter. He said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, this was our way of trading. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm in what is exchanged hand to hand, but there is no good in what is deferred." Go to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him), for his business dealings were greater than mine. I went to him and mentioned this to him, and he said: Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) has spoken the truth.

Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) states: This ruling is abrogated and no fatwa is given according to it.
