Bushair b. Yasir reported on the authority of some of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) from among the members of his family that he forbade (the direct exchange of a commodity having different qualities) but with the change that Ishaq and Ibn al-Muthanna used the word Zabn in place of Riba and Ibn Abu 'Umar used the word Riba (interest).

Ishaq and Ibn al-Muthanna used the word Zabn in place of Riba, while Ibn Abu Umar used the word Riba. The core topic is the careful reporting of Islamic trade hadiths. The narration does not add a new event or a separate ruling beyond the related report. It mainly shows how the wording was preserved with care.
