Taking additional or a reduced amount of one commodity (merchandise) is usury

Malik Ibn Aws Ibn al-Hadathani an-Nasriyu: One hadith

[10] From Malik from Ibn Shihab from Malik Ibn Aws Ibn al-Hadathan an-Nasri that one time he asked to exchange 100 dinars. He said, “Talha Ibn Ubaydullah called me over and we made a mutual agreement that he would make an exchange for me. He took the gold and turned it about in his hand, and then said, “I can’t do it until my treasurer brings the money to me from al-Ghabah (a jungle, forest).” Umar Ibn al-Khattab (RadhiAllaahu Anhu) was listening and Umar (RadhiAllaahu Anhu) said, “By Allah! Do not leave him until you have taken it from him!” Then he said, “The Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhi Was-Sallam) said, “Gold for silver is usury except hand to hand. Wheat for wheat is usury except hand to hand. Dates for dates is usury except hand to hand. Barley for barley is usury except hand to hand.”
