حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِرَجُلٍ يَبِيِعُ طَعَامًا فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَغْشُوشٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ غَشَّ " .

Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Ala ibn Abd al-Rahman, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man selling food and put his hand into it. He found it adulterated, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever cheats is not one of us.”

قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِرَجُلٍ يَبِيِعُ طَعَامًا فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَغْشُوشٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ غَشَّ " .
Maghshush describes the food as adulterated or mixed with something deceptive; the report does not specify how it was altered.
Does “adulterated” convey maghshush without supplying a particular form of fraud?
