What is the ruling (soundness, goodness, weakness) on the two mentioned hadiths: 1. Al-Darimi's hadith: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade two dirhams for one dirham." 2. Malik's hadith: "Ubada ibn al-Samit used to lead a people in prayer. One day he went out for the Fajr prayer, and the muezzin called for the Fajr prayer, but Ubada silenced him until he prayed witr, then he led them in the Fajr prayer." And can you guide me to a book that specializes in ruling on hadiths in Sunan al-Darimi and Muwatta Malik?

The first narration in Sunan al-Darimi is weak due to the presence of a weak narrator and an interruption in the chain of transmission. Nevertheless, the prohibition of selling two dirhams for one dirham has been established by other authentic hadiths, such as the of Abu Sa'id in al-Bukhari. As for the narration transmitted by Malik in al-Muwatta, there is an interruption in its chain because Yahya ibn Sa'id did not meet 'Ubada ibn al-Samit.
