What is this? He replied: Messenger of Allah, these have been drenched by rainfall. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: Why did you not place this (the drenched part of the heap) over other eatables so that the people could see it? He who deceives is not of me (is not my follower).  

مسلم:١٠٢وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلاَءُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى صُبْرَةِ طَعَامٍ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا فَنَالَتْ أَصَابِعُهُ بَلَلاً فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا صَاحِبَ الطَّعَامِ قَالَ أَصَابَتْهُ السَّمَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَفَلاَ جَعَلْتَهُ فَوْقَ الطَّعَامِ كَىْ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ مَنْ غَشَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي

tirmidhi:1315ʿAlī b. Ḥujr > Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar > al-ʿAlāʾ b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman from his father > Abū Hurayrah

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a pile of food. He put his fingers in it and felt wetness. He said: 'O owner of the food! What is this ?' He replied: 'It was rained upon O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Why not put it on top of the food so the people can see it?' Then he said: 'Whoever cheats, he is not one of us.'" He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Abu Al-Hamra', Ibn 'Abbas, Buraidah, Abu Burdah bin Niyar, and Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman.  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They dislike cheating and they say that cheating is unlawful.

[Machine] The Prophet passed by a dish of food, so he dipped his fingers in it and found moisture in it. He said, "What is this, O owner of the food?" He said, "Rain fell on it, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Why didn't you put it on top of the food so that people could see it? Whoever deceives us is not one of us."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ مَرَّ عَلَى صُبْرَةِ طَعَامٍ فَأَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِيهَا فَإِذَا فِيهِ بَلَلٌ فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا صَاحِبَ الطَّعَامِ؟ » قَالَ أَصَابَتْهُ سَمَاءٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَهَلَّا جَعَلْتَهُ فَوْقَ الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ مَنْ غَشَّنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»
