Musnad Ahmad 560 (Book 4, Hadith 151) #34225
Honesty in Business Transactions

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised Uthman to be honest and fair in his business dealings.

Sa'eed bin al-Musayyab said: I heard 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) delivering a khutbah from the minbar. He said: I used to buy dates from one of the Jewish clans who were called Banu Qainuqa', and sell them at a profit. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah who said: 'O 'Uthman, when you buy, take your dues with nothing extra, and when you sell, give (the other party's) dues with nothing less'.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ، يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَبْتَاعُ التَّمْرَ مِنْ بَطْنٍ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ بَنُو قَيْنُقَاعٍ فَأَبِيعُهُ بِرِبْحِ الْآصُعِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا عُثْمَانُ إِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ فَاكْتَلْ وَإِذَا بِعْتَ فَكِلْ‏.‏

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised Uthman to take his dues when buying something without taking extra, and to give the other party's dues when selling something without giving less. This hadith teaches us that we should always be honest and fair in our dealings with others, even if it means making a smaller profit or taking a loss. We should not try to take advantage of others for our own gain because this is not what Allah wants from us. Instead, we should strive for justice and fairness in all our dealings with others so that everyone can benefit from them equally.
