" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: سَيَأتِى عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَان عَضُوضٌ، يَعَضُّ المُوسِرُ عَلَى مَا فِى يَدَيْه وَلَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِذَلِكَ، قَالَ الله تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ} ويَنْهَدُ الأشرارُ، وَيُستَذَل الَأخْيَارُ ويُبَايَعُ المُضطَّرُونَ، وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ عَنْ بَيْع المُضْطَرِّينَ، وَعَنْ بَيعْ الغَرَرِ، وَعَنْ بَيعْ الثَّمَرِة قَبْلَ أنْ تُدْرِكَ".
A time is certainly coming to mankind when people will bite each other and a rich man will hold fast, what he has in his possession (i.e. his property), though he was not commanded for that. Allah, Most High, said: "And do not forget liberality between yourselves." The men who are forced will contract sale while the Prophet ﷺ forbade forced contract, one which involves some uncertainty, and the sale of fruit before it is ripe.
سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ يَعَضُّ الْمُوسِرُ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى { وَلاَ تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ } وَيُبَايَعُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ وَقَدْ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْمُضْطَرِّ وَبَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ وَبَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ
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.
عَلِيٌّ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ عَضُوضٌ يَعَضُّ الْمُوسِرُ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ قَالَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلا تَنْسَوْا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ} [البقرة 237] وَيَنْهَدُ الْأَشْرَارُ وَيُسْتَذَلُّ الْأَخْيَارُ وَيُبَايِعُ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ قَالَ وَقَدْ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الْغَرَرِ وَعَنْ بَيْعِ الثَّمَرَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ
