Fadala b. Ubaid al-Ansari reported: A necklace having gold and gems in it was brought to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) in Khaibar and it was one of the spoils of war and was put to sale. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The gold used in it should be separated, and then Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) further said: (Sell) gold for gold with equal weight.

Fadila b. 'Ubaid (Allaah be pleased with him) reported: I bought on the day (of the Victory of Khaibar) a necklace for twelve dinars (gold coins). It was made of gold studded with gems. I separated (gold from gems) in it, and found (gold) of more (worth) than twelve dinars. I made a mention of it to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), whereupon he said: It should not be sold unless it is separated.

Hanash reported: We were along with Fadala b. Ubaid (Allaah be pleased with him) in an expedition. There fell to my and my friend's lot a necklace made of gold, silver and jewels. I decided to buy that. I asked Fadala b. 'Ubaid, whereupon he said: Separate its gold and place it in one pan (of the balance) and place your gold in the other pan, and do not receive but equal for equal, for I heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: He who believes in Allaah and the Hereafter should not take but equal for equal.
