Sunan Abu Dawud 3450 — Regarding Fixing Prices
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ بِلَالٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، سَعِّرْ ، فَقَالَ : بَلْ أَدْعُو ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، سَعِّرْ ، فَقَالَ : بَلِ اللَّهُ يَخْفِضُ ، وَيَرْفَعُ ، وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدِي مَظْلَمَةٌ " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man came and said: Messenger of Allah, fix prices. He said: (No), but I shall pray. Again the man came and said: Messenger of Allah, fix prices. He said: It is but Allah Who makes the prices low and high. I hope that when I meet Allah, none of you has any claim on me for doing wrong regarding blood or property.
Brief Explanation
1؎: In fixing prices, it is possible that someone benefits while another incurs a loss, so the one who suffers a loss may hold onto my garment, claiming that it was because of me that he had to bear the loss.
