أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ نَبِيعُ الْأَوْسَاقَ وَنَبْتَاعُهَا، وَنُسَمِّي أَنْفُسَنَا السَّمَاسِرَةَ، وَيُسَمِّينَا النَّاسُ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَنَا مِنَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْنَا بِهِ أَنْفُسَنَا، فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ، إِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ الْحَلِفُ، وَاللَّغْوُ، فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ .
It was narrated that Qays bin Abi Gharazah said: We used to trade in the markets of Al-Madinah and we used to call ourselves as-Samasir (brokers) and the people called us that, but the Messenger of Allah came out to s and called us by a name that was better than what we called ourselves. He said: O merchants (Tujjar)! Selling involves (false) oaths and idle talk, so mix some charity with it, (Sahih )
