Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who takes up
arms against us is none of us; and he who cheats us is none of us
.''
[Muslim].
Another narration of Muslim is: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) happened to pass by a heap of corn. He thrust his
hand in that (heap) and his fingers felt wetness. He said to the owner of that heap of corn, "
What is this?
'' He replied:
"O Messenger of Allah! These have been drenched by rainfall.'' He remarked, "
Why did you not place this (the
drenched part of the heap) over the corn so that people might see it? He who deceives is not of us
.''
Commentary:
1. To take arms here signifies to revolt against the Muslim community (and a Muslim government, for that matter)
or draw a sword, gun, etc., to kill a Muslim - a common practice in the present-day terrorism.
2. Forgery and deceit have two different forms; one is implied and other is physical and visible. In the former,
falsehood is given a veneer of truth. The latter is concealment of some defect, adulteration of some inferior quality
merchandise in a superior one, addition of something to increase weight or volume or a substance by unfair means
and other malpractices.
3. "
He is none of us
'' means "
He is not following the way of Muslims
'' or "
His conduct is unlike that of Muslims
.'' It
is therefore, necessary for every Muslim to abstain from such evils.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Do not practise
Najsh (to cheat)
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned (Hadith No. 1591). Najsh means to offer a high price for
something in order to allure another customer who is interested in the thing. If a person has no intention of
purchasing a thing which is being auctioned, one should not give a higher bid for it because its genuine customer
will be deceived by it, and he will purchase it at a higher price. This is also a form of deceit which must be strictly
avoided.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) prohibited the practice of
Najsh
.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that one should not make an offer of a higher price if one has no intention of
buying it because that will be a fraud. For this reason this practice has been forbidden.
