Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about hoarding, what it is. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is that when a man hears of prices falling, it displeases him, and when he hears of them rising, he rejoices at it. Wretched is the hoarding servant: if Allah Almighty lowers prices, he grieves, and if Allah Almighty raises prices, he rejoices."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator Sulayman bin Salamah al-Khaba'iri, who is matruk (abandoned).
