Sunan Ibn Majah 2220 (Book 12, Hadith 84) #31572
Bargaining with the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ bargained with two men for some trousers and asked the one weighing to add more.

It was narrated that Suwaid bin Qais said: "Makhrafah Al' Abdi and I brought linens from Hajar1 The Messenger of Allah came to us to bargain with us with some trousers. There was someone with me who weighed (the goods) in exchange for a wage. So the Prophet said to the one weighing: 'Weigh and add more'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ جَلَبْتُ أَنَا وَمَخْرَفَةُ الْعَبْدِيُّ، بَزًّا مِنْ هَجَرَ فَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَسَاوَمَنَا سَرَاوِيلَ وَعِنْدَنَا وَزَّانٌ يَزِنُ بِالأَجْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ يَا وَزَّانُ زِنْ وَأَرْجِحْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet's practice of bargaining when he was buying something. He was not only a messenger of Allah but also an example for us to follow in our daily lives. He taught us that we should be fair and honest in our dealings, even when it comes to buying something small like trousers. He also taught us that we should always be generous and give more than what is expected from us, as he asked the one weighing to add more. These values are important for all Muslims, especially children who are learning how to conduct themselves in their everyday life.
