"The Messenger of Allah (S) came to us, and we were what was called 'brokers,' he said: 'O people of trade! Indeed the Shaitan and sin are present in the sale, so mix your sales with charity.'" He said: There are narrations on this topic from Al-Bara' bin 'Azib and Rifa'ah.

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ وَالإِثْمَ يَحْضُرَانِ الْبَيْعَ فَشُوبُوا بَيْعَكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ وَرِفَاعَةَ

"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

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were buying and selling in the market. He said, "O traders!" The people became happy and gathered around him. We used to be called brokers, and he was the first to call us traders. He said, "Indeed, the devil and sin are present in the transaction, so purify your business transactions with charity."

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَتَبَايَعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ» فَفَرِحَ الْقَوْمُ وَاشْرَأَبُّوا إِلَيْهِ وَكُنَّا نُدْعَى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَمَّانَا بِالتُّجَّارِ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ وَالإِثْمَ يَحْضُرَانِ الْبَيْعَ فَشُوبُوا بَيْعَكُمْ بِصَدَقَةٍ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were called the merchants and said to us, "O group of merchants, indeed, the buying and selling that you engage in involves swearing oaths and the presence of the devil, so purify it with charity."

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ لَنَا «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ بَيْعَكُمْ هَذَا يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَالشَّيْطَانُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ»
