Hadith 6
The Chapters on Business Transactions
It was narrated that 'Umar bin Khattab said:
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever hoards food (and keeps it from) the Muslims, Allah will afflict him with leprosy and bankruptcy."'
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يَحْيَى الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ فَرُّوخَ، مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ
مَنِ احْتَكَرَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ طَعَامَهُمْ ضَرَبَهُ اللَّهُ بِالْجُذَامِ وَالإِفْلاَسِ
