٢٤۔١٥ باب فِي التَّسْعِيرِ

abudawud:3450Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān al-Dimashqī > Sulaymān b. Bilāl > al-ʿAlāʾ b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman from his father > Abū Hurayrah > a man Jāʾ

A man came and said: Messenger of Allah, fix prices. He said: (No), but I shall pray. Again the man came and said: Messenger of Allah, fix prices. He said: It is but Allah Who makes the prices low and high. I hope that when I meet Allah, none of you has any claim on me for doing wrong regarding blood or property.  

أبو داود:٣٤٥٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ بِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلاَءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ فَقَالَ

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَعِّرْ فَقَالَ بَلْ أَدْعُو ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَعِّرْ فَقَالَ بَلِ اللَّهُ يَخْفِضُ وَيَرْفَعُ وَإِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَلَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ عِنْدِي مَظْلَمَةٌ  

abudawud:3451ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > ʿAffān > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas And Qatādah Waḥumayd > Anas

The people said: Messenger of Allah , prices have shot up, so fix prices for us. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah is the one Who fixes prices, Who withholds, gives lavishly and provides, and I hope that when I meet Allah, none of you will have any claim on me for an injustice regarding blood or property.  

أبو داود:٣٤٥١حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَقَتَادَةُ وَحُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ

النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ غَلاَ السِّعْرُ فَسَعِّرْ لَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ وَإِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يُطَالِبُنِي بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فِي دَمٍ وَلاَ مَالٍ
