Muwatta Malik #1446
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، ذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ يُخْدَعُ فِي الْبُيُوعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِذَا بَايَعْتَ فَقُلْ لاَ خِلاَبَةَ " . قَالَ فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا بَايَعَ يَقُولُ لاَ خِلاَبَةَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from
Abdullah ibn Umar that a man mentioned to the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he was always being cheated
in business transactions. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When you enter a transaction, say, 'No
trickery.' So whenever that man entered a transaction, he would say,
'No trickery.' "
