أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَافَى، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ رُوَيْدَكَ أَسْأَلُكَ إِنِّي أَبِيعُ الإِبِلَ بِالْبَقِيعِ بِالدَّنَانِيرِ وَآخُذُ الدَّرَاهِمَ . قَالَ " لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ بِسِعْرِ يَوْمِهَا مَا لَمْ تَفْتَرِقَا وَبَيْنَكُمَا شَىْءٌ " .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
I came to the Prophet and said: 'Wait, I want to ask you something. I sell camels in Al-Baqi with a price set in Dinars but I accept Dirhams instead.' He said: 'There is nothing wrong with it if you take the price on that day, still unfinished business between you both (buyer and seller)"'

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4589
This Hadith repeats the practical question of Ibn Umar about selling camels in Al-Baqi. The price was set in dinars, but he accepted dirhams instead. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم answered that there is nothing wrong with taking it at the price of that day, as long as both parties do not separate while unfinished business remains between them. This is a clear and useful Hadith for searches like dinar dirham exchange, currency exchange hadith, and same-day exchange rate in Islam. The main teaching is not to leave the deal half-finished. The price should be based on the day of settlement, and the buyer and seller should complete what remains before they part.
What we learn from this hadith
- A dinar price may be received in dirhams when taken at that day's price.
- The buyer and seller should not separate while something remains unresolved.
- The Hadith gives practical guidance for real market transactions.
- Clear settlement helps protect both sides of a deal.
