Bayhaqi 10797 — Severity towards one who lies about the price

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ الدُّورِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا الْعَوَّامُّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَقَامَ سِلْعَةً لَهُ فَحَلَفَ بِاللهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَى بِهَا مَا لَمْ يُعْطِ بِهَا فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: ٧٧] الْآيَةَ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى: النَّاجِشُ آكِلُ رِبًا خَائِنٌ، أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ وَجْهَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ عَنِ الْعَوَّامِّ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ.
Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) says that a man had his goods set out, and he swore by Allah that he had been offered so much for them, that he had bought them for so much, although that amount had not been given for them. Then this verse was revealed: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price" [Surah Al Imran: 77]. Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The one who bids up the price is a consumer of usury (riba) and a betrayer.
