Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ وَعَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَانَا بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ اسْمِنَا إِنَّ الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَالْكَذِبُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ.
English Translation
He said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah told us, from Jami' ibn Abi Rashid and 'Asim, from Abu Wa'il, from Qays ibn Abi Gharazah, who said: We used to be called the samasirah (brokers) in the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He came to us at al-Baqi' and said: "O company of merchants," and named us with a name better than our own name: "Indeed trading is attended by swearing and lying, so mix it with charity."
