Mishkat al-Masabih #2812
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
عَن أبي هُرَيْرَة رَفَعَهُ قَالَ:
" إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: أَنا ثَالِث الشَّرِيكَيْنِ مَا لم يخن صَاحِبَهُ فَإِذَا خَانَهُ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمَا ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَزَاد رزين: «وَجَاء الشَّيْطَان»
Abu Huraira traced to the Prophet the statement that God who is great and glorious says, “I make a third with two partners as long as one of them does not cheat the other, but when he cheats him I depart from them."
Abu Dawud transmitted it and Razin added, “and the devil comes."
