Hakim asked (the Prophet): Messenger of Allah, a man comes to me and wants me to sell him something which is not in my possession. Should I buy it for him from the market? He replied: Do not sell what you do not possess. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3503)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ يَسْأَلُنِي الْبَيْعَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أَبِيعُهُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَبِيعُهُ مِنَ السُّوقِ فَقَالَ لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ
I begged the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he gave me. I again begged, he again gave me. I again begged, he again gave me, and then said: This property is green and sweet; he who receives it with a cheerful heart is blessed in it, and he who receives it with an avaricious mind would not be blessed in it, he being like one who eats without being satished, and the upper hand is better thad the lower hand. (Using translation from Muslim 1035)
سَمِعْنَا حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِحَقِّهِ بُورِكَ لَهُ فِيهِ وَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ وَكَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ congratulated you on the good that has come to you before."
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ لَكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The two parties to a transaction have the choice so long as they have not separated. If they are honest and open, their transaction will be blessed, but if they tell lies and conceal anything, the blessing of their transaction will be lost." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4457)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا رُزِقَا بَرَكَةَ بَيْعِهِمَا وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا مُحِقَ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charity or the most virtuous charity is that which leaves you wealthy, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those who depend on you."
قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَوْ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا أَبْقَتْ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and let one of you start with those he is responsible for. The best charity is that which is given when one is still self-sufficient. Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will enrich him, and whoever seeks chastity, Allah will keep him chaste." So I said, "And who is it from you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "From me." I said, "May my hand never be beneath the hand of an Arab man."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَلْيَبْدَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَعُولُ وَخَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ فَقُلْتُ وَمِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَمِنِّي قَالَ حَكِيمٌ قُلْتُ لَا تَكُونُ يَدِي تَحْتَ يَدِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَبَدًا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prescribed punishments (Hudud) should not be carried out in mosques, and they should not be sought therein."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُقَامُ الْحُدُودُ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ وَلَا يُسْتَقَادُ فِيهَا
[Machine] The mosques do not recite poetry in them, and legal punishments are not carried out in them, and disputes are not resolved in them. My father said, "Hajjaj never lifted him up," meaning he did not elevate him.
الْمَسَاجِدُ لَا تُنْشَدُ فِيهَا الْأَشْعَارُ وَلَا تُقَامُ فِيهَا الْحُدُودُ وَلَا يُسْتَقَادُ فِيهَا قَالَ أَبِي لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ يَعْنِي حَجَّاجٌ
