Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Dirham for dirham and dinar for dinar should be exchanged equally. And there should be no extra payment in it." The narrator says: I requested Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), "Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) does not consider there to be any harm in this." Then Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I met Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). I said to him: Tell me about what you say regarding this: Have you found any ruling about this in the Book of Allah? Or have you heard anything about this from the tongue of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "I have not found any ruling about this in the Book of Allah, nor have I heard anything about it from the tongue of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). You know more about the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than I do. However, Sayyiduna Usama ibn Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) told me this: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Riba (usury) is in credit transactions.'"
