Be honest when dealing with others .

This hadith is about a conversation between two people, Abu Burdah and 'Abdullah bin Shaddad, who were arguing about payment in advance for goods such as wheat, barley, raisins and dates. They sent Ibn Abi Al-Mujalid to ask Ibn Abi Awfa and Ibn Abza about it. Both men said that they used to pay for these goods in advance during the time of Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar even if they did not see them with those people. This hadith teaches us that it was common practice to pay for goods before receiving them during the time of Prophet Muhammad which shows us how important trust was among people at that time. It also teaches us that we should be honest when dealing with others so we can build trust between each other just like it was done back then.
