Sahih al-Bukhari 2082 (Book 34, Hadith 35) #1998
Honesty in Trade

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that buyers and sellers should be honest with each other about the defects of the things they are trading, and if they do so, their deal will be blessed.

Narrated Hakim bin Hizam: The Prophet aid, "The buyer and the seller have the option to cancel or to confirm the deal, as long as they have not parted or till they part, and if they spoke the truth and told each other the defects of the things, then blessings would be in their deal, and if they hid something and told lies, the blessing of the deal would be lost".
حَدَّثَنَا بَدَلُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْخَلِيلِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا ـ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقَا ـ فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا، وَإِنْ كَتَمَا وَكَذَبَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا

This hadith teaches us that when we buy or sell something, it is important to tell each other the truth about any defects in what we are trading. If we do this honestly, our deal will be blessed by Allah. We should not try to hide anything from each other or lie about what we are trading because then our deal will not have Allah's blessing. It is important to remember that honesty is always the best policy when it comes to trade.
