أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَبِيعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ وَنَبْتَاعُهَا وَكُنَّا نُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ وَيُسَمِّينَاهُ النَّاسُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَسَمَّانَا النَّاسُ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ اللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»

✧ We were in Madinah selling and buying loads, and we used to call ourselves brokers, and people called us that. One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and called us by a name better than that which we called ourselves and people called us. He said: “O company of merchants, indeed your selling is witnessed by idle talk, so mix it with charity.”
