"In Al-Madinah we used to buy and sell Wasqs (of goods), and we used to call ourselves Samasir (brokers), and the people used to call us like that. The Messenger of Allah came out to us one day, and called us by a name that was better than that which we called ourselves and which the people called us. He said: 'O Tujjar (traders), your selling involves (false) oaths and lies, so mix some charity with it.'"

كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَبِيعُ الأَوْسَاقَ وَنَبْتَاعُهَا وَكُنَّا نُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ وَيُسَمِّينَا النَّاسُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَسَمَّانَا النَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْكَذِبُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ

"At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to be called brokers, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by us and called by a name that was better than that. He said: 'O merchants, selling involves (false) oaths and idle talk, so mix some charity with it."'

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

[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 fabrics in the city, and we called ourselves merchants. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and gave us a name that was better than what we used to call ourselves. He said, 'O merchants, this type of transaction is accompanied by idle talk and swearing. Purify it with charity.'"

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

كُنَّا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ نَبِيعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ وَنَبْتَاعُهَا وَكُنَّا نُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ وَيُسَمِّينَا النَّاسُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَسَمَّانَا النَّاسُ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us in the market while we were being called by the brokers. He gave us a name that was better than what we had named ourselves. He said, "O merchants, indeed, this buying and selling of yours is tainted with swearing and idle talk, so purify it with charity."

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»

[Machine] We used to trade in the city and we used to call ourselves merchants. Then the Messenger of Allah came to us and gave us names that were better than the names we had given ourselves. He said, "O traders, this trade involves idle talk and swearing, so purify it with some charity."

كُنَّا نَبْتَاعُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ أَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ»

[Machine] We used to trade in the market in the city and call ourselves merchants. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and gave us a better name than what we used to call ourselves. He said, "O merchants, this trade involves falsehood and swearing, so mix it with some charity." By "mix it," he meant to combine it.

كُنَّا نَتَبَايَعُ فِي السُّوقِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَنُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِأَحْسَنَ اسْمٍ مِمَّا كُنَّا نُسَمِّي بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ» يَعْنِي فَشُوبُوهُ اخْلِطُوهُ

"We used to trade in the markets of Al-Madinah and we used to call ourselves as-Samasir (brokers) and the people called us that, but the Messenger of Allah came out to s and called us by a name that was better than what we called ourselves. He said: "O merchants (Tujjar)! Selling involves (false) oaths and idle talk, so mix some charity with it,"" (Sahih ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4463)

كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَبِيعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ وَنَبْتَاعُهَا وَنُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ وَيُسَمِّينَا النَّاسُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَنَا مِنَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ الْحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ شُوبُوهُ 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). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3326)

كُنَّا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَشْتَرِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَنُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْكَذِبُ وَاللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ
