Sahih Muslim 1604b (Book 22, Hadith 158) #11231
Fair Payment for Goods

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of making payments for goods in a fair and specified manner.

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that when Allah's Messenger came to (Medina) and the people were paying in advance (for the fruits, etc), he said to them: He who makes an advance payment should not make advance payment except for a specified measure and weight (and for a specified period).
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالنَّاسُ يُسْلِفُونَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَسْلَفَ فَلاَ يُسْلِفْ إِلاَّ فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of fairness when it comes to making payments for goods. It teaches us that we should not make advance payments unless it is for a specified measure, weight, and period. This means that we should not pay more than what is necessary or agreed upon, nor should we pay before the agreed time has passed. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching people to be honest and fair in their dealings with others so that everyone can benefit from them. He wanted people to be mindful of their actions and ensure that they are not taking advantage of anyone else’s situation or taking advantage of someone else’s trust in them.
