English narration
Narrated by معمر بن أبي معمر القرشي
Narrated Mamar bin Abi Mamar, one of the children of Adi bin Kab: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: No one withholds goods till their price rises but a sinner. I said to Saeed (b. al-Musayyab): You withhold goods till their price rises. He said: Mamar used to withhold goods till their price rose. Abu Dawud said: I asked Ahmad (b. Hanbal): What is hoarding (hukrah) ? He replied: That on which people live. Abu Dawud said: Al-Auzai said: A muhtakir (one who hoards) is one who withholds supply of goods in the market.
