Hadith 1358
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ : " لَا حُكْرَةَ فِي سُوقِنَا، لَا يَعْمِدُ رِجَالٌ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فُضُولٌ مِنْ أَذْهَابٍ إِلَى رِزْقٍ مِنْ رِزْقِ اللَّهِ نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِنَا فَيَحْتَكِرُونَهُ عَلَيْنَا، وَلَكِنْ أَيُّمَا جَالِبٍ جَلَبَ عَلَى عَمُودِ كَبِدِهِ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ، فَذَلِكَ ضَيْفُ عُمَرَ، فَلْيَبِعْ كَيْفَ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، وَلْيُمْسِكْ كَيْفَ شَاءَ اللَّهُ "
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: No one should hoard in our market. Those who have more money than they need should not buy up any one grain that comes into our land and hoard it. And whoever brings grain into our land with effort, whether in summer or winter, he is a guest of Umar; he may sell as Allah wills, and he may keep as Allah wills.
Hadith 1359
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مَرَّ بِحَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ زَبِيبًا لَهُ بِالسُّوقِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : " إِمَّا أَنْ تَزِيدَ فِي السِّعْرِ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تُرْفَعَ مِنْ سُوقِنَا "
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, passed by Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah, may Allah be pleased with him, while he was selling grapes (raisins) in the market. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Either you increase the price or leave our market.
Hadith 1360
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ كَانَ " يَنْهَى عَنِ الْحُكْرَةِ "
Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) used to prohibit hoarding.
