[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were trading and said, "O merchants, indeed this type of transaction is accompanied by falsehood and swearing, so purify it with charity."
خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ

"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
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).
كُنَّا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْحَلِفُ 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] The messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, came out to us while we were selling slaves and we were called the brokers. He said, "O merchants, know that your trade involves falsehood or swearing. Purify it with charity or something from charity."
خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَبِيعُ الرَّقِيقَ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ بَيْعَكُمْ هَذَا يُخَالِطُهُ لَغْوٌ أَوْ حَلِفٌ فَشُوبُوهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ
[Machine] "We used to sell slaves in the market and we were called brokers. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , gave us a better name than what we had given ourselves. He said, 'O merchants, this trade involves vain talk and oaths, so make it pure by giving in charity.'"
كُنَّا نَبِيعُ الرَّقِيقَ فِي السُّوقِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَسَمَّانَا رسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْأَيْمَانُ فَشُوبُوهُ 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 نُسَمَّى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ 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

He said: 'O merchants (Tujjar), this selling involves lies and (false) oaths, so mix some charity with it.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3797)
كُنَّا قَوْمًا نُسَمِّي السَّمَاسِرَةَ وَكُنَّا نَبِيعُ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمَّانَا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنِ اسْمِنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْكَذِبُ وَالْيَمِينُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came to us while we were selling slaves in the city, and we used to call ourselves brokers. He then gave us a better name than what we called ourselves. He said, "O merchants! This trade involves idle talk and oaths, so purify it with charity." This is the wording of the hadith of Thawri.
جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَبِيعُ الرَّقِيقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكُنَّا نُسَمَّيَ السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَسَمَّانَا بِأَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ اللَّغْوُ وَالْأَيْمَانُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ» هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الثَّوْرِيِّ
" خَرجَ عَلَيْنَا رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ ونَحْنُ نَبيعُ فِى السُّوقِ، وَنَحْن نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَر التُّجَارِ! إِنّ سُوقكُم هَذِهِ يُخَالِطُها اللَّغْوُ والحَلِفُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِشئٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ أَوْ مِن صَدَقَةٍ".
