(Sahih )
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَلَقُّوا الرُّكْبَانَ لِلْبَيْعِ وَلاَ يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ - وَلاَ تَنَاجَشُوا - وَلاَ يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fair trade practices. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should not go out to meet riders in order to buy or sell goods from them. We should also not urge someone to cancel a sale they have already agreed upon so that we can buy or sell our own goods instead. Additionally, we should never artificially inflate prices when buying or selling items. Lastly, he taught us that town dwellers and desert dwellers should be allowed to buy and sell their own goods without interference from each other. These teachings are important for us as Muslims because it teaches us how to conduct ourselves in an ethical manner when trading with others. It also encourages fairness between different groups of people who may live in different areas but still need access to resources for their livelihoods.
