عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى صُبْرَةِ طَعَامٍ، فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا، فَنَالَتْ أَصَابِعُهُ بَلَلًا، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا يَا صَاحِبَ الطَّعَامِ؟» قَالَ: أَصَابَتْهُ السَّمَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «أَفَلَا جَعَلْتَهُ فَوْقَ الطَّعَامِ كَيْ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ؟! مَنْ غَشَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي»
Abu Hurayrah narrated that
1. As he was passing by, God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) saw a heap of food [on sale]. He put his hand into it and felt that it was wet underneath. 2. He said: ‘O food seller, what is this?’ The man said: ‘Messenger of God, it has been affected by rain’. 3. The Prophet said: ‘Would it not be better for you to put it on top so that people can see it? 4. Whoever cheats does not belong to me.
