According to Abu Ishaq, Abu ʿAbd Allah al-Jadali (ra) said, “I asked ʿAʾisha (ra) about the ethics of the Messenger of Allah (saw). She said, ‘He was not obscene, nor indecent, nor shouting in the markets (to attract customers). He would not return an evil with an evil, but rather he was pardoning and tolerant.’” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Birr, 69)

According to ʿUqba b. ʿAmir (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “‘A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to sell his brother goods in which there is a defect, without pointing that out to him.” (Ibn Maja, al-Tijarat, 45)

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), “The Prophet of Allah (saw) came to a pile of grain (while walking about the market in Medina). He thrust his hand into the grain and his fingers felt wetness. He then addressed owner of the grain, saying, ‘What is this?’ He replied, ‘O, Messenger of Allah! My goods got wet in the rain.’ Thereupon the Prophet (saw) said, ‘Why did you not place this (the wet part of the heap) on top of the grain so that people could see it? He who deceives is not one of us.’” (Muslim, al-Iman, 164)

Qays b. Abi Gharaza (saw) said, “The Prophet (saw) came to me in the market and said, ‘This marketplace is filled with idle talk and lies, so mix some charity (ṣadaqa) with it.’” (al-Nasaʾi, al-Ayman, 23; Ibn Hanbal, IV, 7)
