١٣۔ كِتَابُ الْبُيُوعِ
[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, set a price." He replied, "No, rather ask Allah." Then, another man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, set a price." He replied, "No, Allah is the one who raises and lowers. And I hope to meet Allah while there is no injustice on my part towards anyone." Abu Dawood narrated it in his Sunan from Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Dimashqi from Sulayman ibn Bilal. Ismail ibn Ja'far also narrated it from al-Ala'.
أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَعِّرْ قَالَ بَلِ ادْعُ اللهَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَعِّرْ قَالَ بَلِ اللهُ يَرْفَعُ وَيَخْفِضُ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى اللهَ وَلَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدِي مَظْلِمَةٌ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ
[Machine] The price has increased during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so they said, "O Messenger of Allah, the price has increased, so set a price for us." He said, "Verily, Allah is the One who sets prices, the One who withholds and extends provision. And indeed, I hope to meet my Lord, and there is none among you seeking compensation for blood or wealth. Abu Al-Khair Jaami' ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad Al-Wakeel Al-Muhammadabadi informed us that Abu Tahir Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Al-Muhammadabadhi narrated to us that Uthman ibn Sa'id Al-Darimi narrated to us that Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us that Hammad mentioned it in a similar manner, except that he said, "Verily, Allah is the Creator, the One who withholds and extends provision, the Provider who sets prices."
قَدْ غَلَا السِّعْرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ غَلَا السِّعْرُ فَسَعِّرْ لَنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّزَّاقُ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى رَبِّي وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَطْلُبُنِي بِمَظْلِمَةٍ فِي دَمٍ وَلَا مَالٍ 11145 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْخَيْرِ جَامِعُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَكِيلُ الْمُحَمَّدْآبَاذِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمُحَمَّدْآبَاذِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ هُوَ الْخَالِقُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ الْمُسَعِّرُ
[Machine] "To raise the price of our market, this is a summary and its completeness in what Al-Shafi'i narrated from Al-Daraawardi from Dawood ibn Saleh Al-Tammari from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Umar. He passed by a guy in the marketplace of Al-Musalla and in front of him were two sacks containing raisins. He asked about their price and he priced them for him at a high price per dirham. Umar said to him, 'I was informed of a she-camel coming from Ta'if carrying raisins and they consider your price. So either you increase the price or you bring your raisins back home and sell them as you wish.' When Umar returned, he calculated himself and then went to the guy in his house and said to him, 'What I said was not an intention or decision from me, but it was something I wanted for the good of the people of the city. So wherever you want, sell, and however you want, sell.' And this is what Abu Nu'aym wrote to me, Abdullah ibn Al-Malik ibn Al-Hasan Al-Isfiraayeeni, that Abu Awanah informed them. He said, Thabit Al-Muzani narrated from Al-Shafi'i and mentioned it."
