Hadith text

Narrated Abu Al-Minhal `AbdurRahman bin Mut`im:A partner of mine sold some Dirhams on credit in the market. I said, "Glorified be Allah! Is this legal?" He replied, "Glorified be Allah! By Allah, when I sold them in the market, nobody objected to it." Then I asked Al-Bara' bin `Azib (about it) he said, "We used to make such a transaction when the Prophet came to Medina. So he said, 'There is no harm in it if it is done from hand to hand, but it is not allowed on credit.' Go to Zaid bin Al- Arqam and ask him about it for he was the greatest trader of all of us." So I asked Zaid bin Al-Arqam., and he said the same (as Al-Bara) did

Abu Al-Minhal Abdur-Rahman bin Mut'im bataate hain: Mere ek saathi ne bazaar mein kuch Dirham udhaar par beche. Maine kaha, "Subhanallah! Kya yeh jaiz hai?" Unhone jawab diya, "Subhanallah! Allah ki qasam, jab maine unhe bazaar mein becha, kisi ne koI aapatti nahi ki." Phir maine Al-Bara bin Azib se (iske baare mein) pucha, jinhone kaha, "Hum aisa len-den karte the jab Nabi Madina aaye. Ispar unhone kaha, 'Ismein koee harz nahi agar yeh haathon-haath ho, magar udhaar par jaiz nahi hai.' Zaid bin Al-Arqam ke paas jao aur unse iske baare mein puchho, kyunke woh hum sab mein sabse bada vyaapari tha.'" Isliye maine Zaid bin Al-Arqam se pucha, aur unhone wahi kaha (jo Al-Bara ne kaha).
