Sunan Abi Dawud 3452 (Book 24, Hadith 37) #23742
Deceit is Unacceptable in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against deceiving people and taught that those who do so have no place in the Muslim community.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah passed a man who was selling grain. He asked him: How are you selling? He informed him. Revelation them came down to him saying: "Put your hand into it". So he put his hand into it, and felt that it was damp. The Messenger of Allah then said: "He who deceives has nothing to do with us".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ يَبِيعُ طَعَامًا فَسَأَلَهُ ‏"‏ كَيْفَ تَبِيعُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِيهِ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَبْلُولٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ غَشَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that deceit and dishonesty are not acceptable in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was passing by a man selling grain when he asked him how he was selling it. When the man told him, revelation came down to the Prophet telling him to put his hand into the grain. He did so and found it damp, which meant that the man had been deceiving people about its quality. The Prophet then said “He who deceives has nothing to do with us” meaning that those who deceive have no place in the Muslim community as they are not following Islamic teachings of honesty and truthfulness. This hadith also teaches us about being careful when buying things from others as we should always make sure we know what we are buying is of good quality before making a purchase.
