Sunan Abi Dawud 3470 (Book 24, Hadith 55) #23760
Do Not Take Advantage of Misfortune

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to take advantage of someone else's misfortune.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah : The Messenger of Allah as saying: If you were to sell dried dates to your brother and they were smitten by blight, it will not be allowable for you to take your brother's property unjustly.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، - الْمَعْنَى - أَنَّ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنْ بِعْتَ مِنْ أَخِيكَ تَمْرًا فَأَصَابَتْهَا جَائِحَةٌ فَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا بِمَ تَأْخُذُ مَالَ أَخِيكَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is wrong to take advantage of someone else's misfortune. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching his companions about trading and how it should be done in a fair and just manner. He said that if you were to sell dried dates to your brother, and they were smitten by blight, then it would not be allowed for you to take your brother's property unjustly. This means that even if the dates are damaged or spoiled, the seller cannot ask for more money than what was agreed upon before the sale took place. We must always remember this lesson when we are trading with others; we should never try to take advantage of their misfortune or bad luck.
