Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4485 — he said: We used to trade in Madinah
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ : نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ : نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ قَالَ : كُنَّا نَبِيعُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَنُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ ، فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا ، فَقَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ ، إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْبُيُوعَ يَحْضُرُهَا اللَّغْوُ ، أَوِ الْحَلِفُ ، فَشُوبُوهَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qays bin Abi Gharazah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We used to trade in Madinah and called ourselves al-samasirah (brokers). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us and called us by a name better than the one we had given ourselves; he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O company of merchants, indeed idle talk or oaths enter into these dealings of buying and selling, so mix them with charity.'"
