Hadith #86

Arabic Text

English Translation

Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man used to buy (goods), and he was weak in his intellect. His people came to the Prophet ﷺ of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Prophet of Allah, stop so-and-so (to make a bargain) for he buys (goods), but he is weak in his intellect. So the Prophet ﷺ called on him and forbade him to make a bargain. He said: Prophet of Allah, I cannot keep away myself from business transactions. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you cannot give up making a bargain , then say: Take , and give, and there is no attempt to deceive
