Riyad as-Salihin: Book 18, Hadith 35

Salman Al-Farisi (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not, if you can help, be the first to enter the market and the last to leave it because it is an arena of Satan and the standard of Satan is set there.”.There are other narrations with some variation in the wordings.

وعن سلمان الفارسي رضي الله عنه من قوله قال‏:‏ لا تكونن إن استطعت أول من يدخل السوق، ولا آخر من يخرج منها، فإنها معركة الشيطان، وبها ينصب رايته‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم هكذا‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ورواه البرقاني في صحيحه عن سلمان قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏
“‏لا تكن أول من يدخل السوق، ولا آخر من يخرج منها، فيها باض الشيطان وفرخ‏”‏‏.‏
