Hadith 3447
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ أَحَدِ بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَحْتَكِرُ إِلَّا خَاطِئٌ " ، فَقُلْتُ لِسَعِيدٍ : فَإِنَّكَ تَحْتَكِرُ ، قَالَ : وَمَعْمَرٌ كَانَ يَحْتَكِرُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَسَأَلْتُ أَحْمَدَ ، مَا الْحُكْرَةُ ؟ قَالَ : مَا فِيهِ عَيْشُ النَّاسِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ : الْمُحْتَكِرُ مَنْ يَعْتَرِضُ السُّوقَ .
Narrated Mamar bin Abi Mamar, one of the children of Adi bin Kab: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: No one withholds goods till their price rises but a sinner. I said to Saeed (b. al-Musayyab): You withhold goods till their price rises. He said: Mamar used to withhold goods till their price rose. Abu Dawud said: I asked Ahmad (b. Hanbal): What is hoarding (hukrah) ? He replied: That on which people live. Abu Dawud said: Al-Auzai said: A muhtakir (one who hoards) is one who withholds supply of goods in the market.
