Sunan an-Nasai 4557 (Book 44, Hadith 109) #19090
Avoiding Usury

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad warned against the practice of usury, which is taking advantage of someone financially.

Abu Saeed said: "Bilal brought some Bami dates to the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'What is this? 'He said: 'I bought a Sa of them for two Sa. The Messenger of Allah said: "O! The essence of Riba, do not approach it"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَمْزَةَ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْغَافِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ أَتَى بِلاَلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِتَمْرٍ بَرْنِيٍّ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ صَاعًا بِصَاعَيْنِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَوِّهْ عَيْنُ الرِّبَا لاَ تَقْرَبْهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be honest & fair when dealing with others financially

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is warning against the practice of usury or riba. This is a type of financial transaction where one person takes advantage of another by charging them an unfair amount for goods or services. In this case, Bilal was trying to buy some dates but was being charged too much money for them. The Prophet Muhammad then warned him not to take part in such a transaction as it would be considered wrong and unethical. He wanted people to be fair and honest when dealing with each other financially and not take advantage of others in any way. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to be fair and just when dealing with others financially and never try to take advantage of someone else's situation for our own gain.
