حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَثَابِتٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

قَالَ غَلَا السِّعْرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَعِّرْ لَنَا. فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّزَّاقُ وَإِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى رَبِّي وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَطْلُبُنِي بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فِي دَمٍ وَلَا مَالٍ»

“Prices became excessive during the time of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), so they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Set prices for us!’ So he said: ‘Indeed Allah is Al-Musair, Al-Qabid, Al-Basir, Ar-Razzaq. And I am hopeful that I meet my Lord and none of you are seeking (recompense from) me for an injustice involving blood or wealth.’”

আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লামের যুগে একবার দ্রব্যমূল্য বৃদ্ধি পাওয়ার ফলে লোকেরা বলতে লাগল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমাদের জন্য দ্রব্যমূল্য বেঁধে দিন।

তিনি বললেনঃ আল্লাহ্ তা'আলাই মূল্য নির্ধারণ করে থাকেন, তিনিই নিয়ন্ত্রণকারী, অপ্রশস্তকারী, প্রশস্তকারী ও রিযিক দানকারী। আমি আমার প্রতিপালকের সাথে এমন অবস্থায় মিলিত হতে চাই যে, তোমাদের কোন লোক যেন এ দাবি করতে না পারে (আমার বিরুদ্ধে) যে, তার জান-মালের উপর আমি হস্তক্ষেপ করেছি। সহীহ, ইবনু মা-জাহ (২২০০) আবূ ঈসা এ হাদীসটিকে হাসান সহীহ বলেছেন।

انس رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک بار رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے زمانہ میں ( غلہ وغیرہ کا ) نرخ بڑھ گیا، تو لوگوں نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! آپ ہمارے لیے نرخ مقرر کر دیجئیے، آپ نے فرمایا: ”نرخ مقرر کرنے والا تو اللہ ہی ہے، وہی روزی تنگ کرنے والا، کشادہ کرنے والا اور کھولنے والا اور بہت روزی دینے والا ہے۔

میں چاہتا ہوں کہ اپنے رب سے اس حال میں ملوں کہ تم میں سے کوئی مجھ سے جان و مال کے سلسلے میں کسی ظلم ( کے بدلے ) کا مطالبہ کرنے والا نہ ہو“۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basysyar], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Hajjaj bin Minhal] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Salamah] dari [Qatadah], [Tsabit] dan [Humaid] dari [Anas] ia berkata; Pernah terjadi kenaikan harga pada masa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, maka orang-orang berkata; Wahai Rasulullah, tetapkanlah harga untuk kami.

Lalu beliau bersabda: "Sesungguhnya Allah Sang Penepat harga, Penggenggam, Pembentang rizki dan Pemberi rizki. Aku berharap bertemu dengan Rabbku dan tidak ada seorang pun dari kalian yang menuntut perbuatan zhalim yang aku pernah lakukan kepadanya, baik berupa darah (qishas) maupun harta." Abu Isa berkata; Hadits ini hasan shahih

Enes (r.a.)’den rivâyete göre, şöyle demiştir: Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)’in zamanında fiyatlar yükseldi, bunun üzerine; Ey Allah’ın Rasûlü! Fiyatlara sınır koy, (Narh koy) fiyatlar çok yükseldi dediler. Rasûlullah (s.a.v.): “Fiyatları ayarlayan Allah’tır, genişletip çok çok veren Allah’tır. Rızık veren Allah’tır. Daraltıp kıtlık getiren Allah’tır, Ben, Allah’a yanımda kimsenin mal ve kan hakkı olmadığı halde ulaşmayı umarım” buyurdu.

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

Abu Isa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

What it means

During the time of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), prices of commodities increased, so the people asked him to fix the prices of the commodities for them. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: “Indeed, Allah is the One who fixes prices, the Withholder, the Extender, and the Provider.”

This means that Allah, the Almighty, is the One who causes the prices of things to decline and rise. He is also the One who reduces the provisions for whomever He wills, and extends the provisions for whomever He wills. In other words, anyone who attempts to fix the prices will be opposing and challenging Allah in what He wills, and will most probably deny people their rights of raising and lowering prices, which Allah has entrusted them with. Then he said: “Indeed, I wish to meet Allah while none of you will have any claim against me for an injustice regarding blood or property.”

This is an indication that what prevented him from fixing the price was the fear that he would wrong them in their wealth, since fixing the prices of commodities involves a sort of disposing of them without the permission of their owners, and this is considered injustice. However, if the vendors – for example traders and the like – agreed to raise the prices of what they have out of selfishness, then the ruler would become entitled to determining a fair price for the goods in order to establish justice between the sellers and buyers.

This also conforms to the general principle of bringing about benefits and eliminating evil. If no agreement happened between the traders, and the prices went up only due to the high demand and low supply without any deceit, then it would not be the ruler’s right to determine the prices. Rather, he should leave the citizens so that Allah provides for some through others.

Thus, it is not permissible for the traders to raise the prices over what is customary, nor is fixing the prices permissible. This is the proper understanding and interpretation of the Hadīth.
