Prohibiting Breaking Coins of Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade breaking coins of Muslims unless they have a defect.

Narrated 'Alqamah b. 'Abdullah: On the authority of his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah forbade to break the coins of the Muslims current among them except for some defect.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ فَضَاءٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُكْسَرَ سِكَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْجَائِزَةُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلاَّ مِنْ بَأْسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of respecting the currency and money of fellow Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prohibited breaking coins that are current among them, except if there is some defect in it. This teaches us to be mindful and respectful when handling money, as it belongs to other people too. We should not damage or break any coins that we come across, unless there is a valid reason for doing so such as a defect in the coin itself. It also teaches us to be honest and truthful when dealing with money, as we should not try to deceive others by using damaged or broken coins for our own benefit.

This hadith also emphasizes the importance of being mindful and respectful when dealing with other people's property, whether it be money or something else entirely. We should always strive to treat others' belongings with respect and care, just like we would want our own possessions treated with respect and care by others too!
