عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ غَلَا السِّعْرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ لَوْ قَوَّمْتَ لَنَا سِعْرَنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُقَوِّمُ أَوِ الْمُسَعِّرُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أُفَارِقَكُمْ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَطْلُبُنِي بِمَظْلِمَةٍ فِي مَالٍ وَلَا نَفْسٍ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the prices of goods increased. The people said to him: "Please fix the prices for us." But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is Allah Almighty who sets the prices or raises the prices. I only hope that when I depart from you, none of you will have any claim against me regarding his wealth or life."
