" خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السُّوقِ وَنَحْنُ نَبِيعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ، وَنَحْنُ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ، فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ أَحْسَنَ مِمَّا سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us in the market while we were selling the loads, and we were called the brokers, so he named us with a name better than what we called ourselves.

" يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ، إِنَّهُ يُخَالِطُ سُوقَكُمْ هَذِهِ لَغْوٌ وَحَلِفٌ، فَشُوبُوهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ
✧ "O assembly of merchants, indeed this market of yours is mixed with vain talk and oaths, so mix it with charity or with a portion of charity."
