اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : غَلَا السِّعْرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : لَوْ قَوَّمْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو ، أَنْ أُفَارِقَكُمْ وَلَا يَطْلُبَنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ ظَلَمْتُهُ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed said:` "Prices rose at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and they said: 'Why do you not fix the food prices, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'I hope that when I leave you, no one among you will be demanding restitution for a wrong that I have done to him."'
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The affairs of trade, according to the laws of supply and demand in economics, should continue to operate automatically, as this is beneficial for the national economy.
The government should refrain from interfering in these matters.
➋
If traders, out of unlawful greed for excessive profit, do not take into account the needs of the public, then the government can counter this by providing cheaper grain from state warehouses.
➌
The government should ensure that, along with the rights of traders, the needs of the public are also considered.
When there is a shortage of any essential item in one region, it should be supplied there from another region.
➍
Traders should not oppress the public out of greed for greater profit.
