The Prophet, peace be upon him, passed by a pile of food in the market.
He put his hand inside it and felt dampness, although the surface was dry.
He said: [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“O owner of the food, what is this?’[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
The man said, ‘It was damaged by rain, O Messenger of God.’[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
He said,
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]‘Why did you not put the rain-damaged food on top so that people could see it!
Whoever cheats us is not one of us.” [/FONT]
