From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1354 — in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : قَدِمَ نَبَطِيٌّ مِنَ الشَّامِ بِثَلَاثِينَ حِمْلَ شَعِيرٍ وَتَمْرٍ فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَسَعَّرَ ، يَعْنِي مُدًّا بِدِرْهَمٍ بِمُدِّ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَيْسَ فِي النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ طَعَامٌ غَيْرُهُ ، فَشَكَا النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - غَلَاءَ السِّعْرِ ، فَخَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : « أَلَا لَأَلْقَيَنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَبْلَ أَنْ أُعْطِيَ أَحَدًا مِنْ مَالِ أَحَدٍ بِغَيْرِ طِيبِ نَفْسِهِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a Nabataean merchant came from Syria with thirty loads of barley and dates. He fixed the price at one mudd per dirham, by the measure (mudd) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while in those days the people had no other food besides it. So the people complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the high prices, whereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and said: "Beware! I want to meet Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, in such a state that I have not given anyone's wealth to another (by forcibly fixing its price) without his willing consent."
