Hadith #99
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا نَبْتَاعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ
فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ أَحْسَنَ مِمَّا كُنَّا نُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ
English Translation
Wakīʿ narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Abū Wāʾil, from Qays ibn Abī Gharazah رضي الله عنه who said: We used to buy and sell goods in lots in Madinah, and we used to call ourselves brokers. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and called us by a name better than what we had been calling ourselves. He said: 'O community of merchants, indeed this trade involves idle talk and oaths, so mix it with charity.'
