"At the time of the Messenger of Allah we used to be called Samasir (brokers). The Messenger of Allah came to us when we were selling and called us by a name that was better than that. He said: 'O merchants (Tujjar), this selling involves lies and (false) oaths, so mix some charity with it.'"  

كُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَبِيعُ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِ اسْمِنَا فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْكَذِبُ فَشُوبُوا بَيْعَكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ  

"We used to sell in Al-Baqi, and the Messenger of Allah came to us. We used to be called Samasir (brokers) but he said: 'O merchants!' And called us by a name that was better than our name. Then he said: 'This selling involves (false) oaths and lies, so mix some charity with it.'"  

كُنَّا نَبِيعُ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِ اسْمِنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْكَذِبُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ  

In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to be called brokers, but the Prophet ﷺ came upon us one day, and called us by a better name than that, saying: O company of merchants, unprofitable speech and swearing takes place in business dealings, so mix it with sadaqah (alms).  

كُنَّا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ

كُنَّا نُسَمَّى فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ

كُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَانَا بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ اسْمِنَا إِنَّ الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْكَذِبُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ  

[Machine] We used to buy goods in the city and we were called brokers. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, and he named us with a name that is better than what we used to call ourselves. He said: "O merchants, indeed this business involves idle talk and swearing, so purify it with charity."  

كُنَّا نَبْتَاعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ قَالَ فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِمَّا كُنَّا نُسَمِّي بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ  

[Machine] "We used to sell slaves in the market and we were called brokers. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , gave us a better name than what we had given ourselves. He said, 'O merchants, this trade involves vain talk and oaths, so make it pure by giving in charity.'"  

كُنَّا نَبِيعُ الرَّقِيقَ فِي السُّوقِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَسَمَّانَا رسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْأَيْمَانُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came to us while we were selling slaves in the city, and we used to call ourselves brokers. He then gave us a better name than what we called ourselves.

جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَبِيعُ الرَّقِيقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّيَ السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَسَمَّانَا بِأَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْأَيْمَانُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ» هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الثَّوْرِيِّ

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالسُّوقِ وَنَحْنُ نُدْعَى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ أَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّهُ يُخَالِطُ بَيْعَكُمْ هَذَا الْحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَتَبَايَعُ بِالْعَقِيقِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْكَذِبُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ»
