Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 12, Hadith 64

It was nanated that Anas bin Malik said: “Prices rose during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, prices have risen, so fix the prices for us.’ He said: ‘Indeed Allah is the Musa’ir, the Razzaq (Provider). And I am hopeful that I meet my Lord and none of you are seeking (recompense from) me for an injustice involving blood or wealth.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، وَثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ غَلاَ السِّعْرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ غَلاَ السِّعْرُ فَسَعِّرْ لَنَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏
“‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمُسَعِّرُ الْقَابِضُ الْبَاسِطُ الرَّازِقُ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَلْقَى رَبِّي وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَطْلُبُنِي بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فِي دَمٍ وَلاَ مَالٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 12, Hadith 64
Sahih (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Sunan Ibn Majah is a foundational text, recognized as the sixth of the major hadith collections in Sunni Islam. The work of scholar Ibn Majah (d. 886 CE), it encompasses about 4,000 hadiths that provide guidance on a multitude of subjects. These subjects are crucial for Muslims and include the pillars of faith, the specifics of ritual observance, the development of personal ethics, and the navigation of social issues. The collection’s standing is one of respected importance with a caveat; it is typically viewed as containing a greater number of weak narrations than its five counterpart collections. This understanding necessitates a more critical approach from scholars, who still rely on it heavily for its breadth and content.
