Hadith.3955 - The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, once passed by some hoarders and commanded that their hoarded goods be brought out into the marketplaces where people could see them. Someone then suggested to the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family: "Would you set a price for them?" At this, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, became angry, and his anger was apparent on his face. Prophet (sw) said: "Am I to set prices for them? Indeed, pricing is in the hands of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic. He raises it when He wills and lowers it when He wills."
3955 - وَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِالْمُحْتَكِرِينَ فَأَمَرَ بِحُكْرَتِهِمْ أَنْ تُخْرَجَ إِلَى بُطُونِ اَلْأَسْوَاقِ وَ حَيْثُ يَنْظُرُ اَلنَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا فَقِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لَوْ قَوَّمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَتَّى عُرِفَ اَلْغَضَبُ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ قَالَ "أَنَا أُقَوِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّمَا اَلسِّعْرُ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَرْفَعُهُ إِذَا شَاءَ وَ يَخْفِضُهُ إِذَا شَاءَ".
