ʿAli ؓ addressed us - or he said: ‘Ali said: There will come a difficult time when the rich man will hold fast to that which is in his hand although he was not enjoined to do that. Allah says: ʿAnd do not forget liberality between yourselvesʿ [Al-Baqarah 2:237]. The evil [people] will be elevated and good people will be humiliated. And those who are under compulsion (of force or necessity) will be bought from. The Prophet ﷺ forbade forced sales, transactions based on ambiguity and selling crops before they have ripened. (Using translation from Aḥmad 937)
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ يَعَضُّ الْمُوسِرُ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {وَلَا تَنْسَوَا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ} [البقرة 237] وَتَنْهَدُ الْأَشْرَارُ وَيُسْتَذَلُّ الْأَخْيَارُ وَيُبَايِعُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْمُضْطَرِّ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُطْعَمَ
