Narrator:Qays ibn Abu Gharaza

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ، قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَحْنُ نُسَمَّى السَّمَاسِرَةَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ وَالإِثْمَ يَحْضُرَانِ الْبَيْعَ فَشُوبُوا بَيْعَكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ ‏"

Abu Wa'il narrated that Qais bin Abi Gharazah said:

"The Messenger of Allah (S) came to us, and we were what was called 'brokers,' he said: 'O people of trade! Indeed the Shaitan and sin are present in the sale, so mix your sales with charity.'"

He said: There are narrations on this topic from Al-Bara' bin 'Azib and Rifa'ah.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Qais bin Abi Gharazah (a narrator) is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.

Mansur, Al-A'mash, Habib bin Abi Thabit and others reported it from Abu Wa'il, from Qais bin Abi Gharzah, from the Prophet (ﷺ). We do not know of anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) narrated by Qais other than this.

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1208).

قَوْلُهُ : ( عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ ) بِمُعْجَمَةٍ وَرَاءٍ وَزَايٍ مَفْتُوحَاتٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ صَحَابِيٌّ نَزَلَ الْكُوفَةَ ( نَحْنُ نُسَمَّى ) بِصِيغَةِ الْمَجْهُولِ أَيْ نُدْعَى ( السَّمَاسِرَةَ ) بِالنَّصْبِ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَفْعُولٌ ثَانٍ وَهُوَ بِفَتْحِ السِّينِ الْأُولَى وَكَسْرِ الثَّانِيَةِ جَمْعُ السِّمْسَارِ قَالَ فِي النِّهَايَةِ : السِّمْسَارُ الْقَيِّمُ بِالْأَمْرِ الْحَافِظُ وَهُوَ اِسْمٌ لِلَّذِي يَدْخُلُ بَيْنَ الْبَائِعِ وَالْمُشْتَرِي مُتَوَسِّطًا لِإِمْضَاءِ الْبَيْعِ وَالسَّمْسَرَةُ الْبَيْعُ وَالشِّرَاءُ اِنْتَهَى.
