حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَالِمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ الْجَالِبُ مَرْزُوقٌ وَالْمُحْتَكِرُ مَلْعُونٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Nasr ibn ʿAli al-Jahdami narrated to us; Abu Ahmad narrated to us; Israʾil narrated to us, from ʿAli ibn Salim ibn Thawban, from ʿAli ibn Zayd ibn Judʿan, from Saʿid ibn al-Musayyib, from ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab, who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: ‘The one who brings goods to market is provided for, while the hoarder is accursed.’

  • قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ الْجَالِبُ مَرْزُوقٌ وَالْمُحْتَكِرُ مَلْعُونٌ ‏"‏ ‏.

    الجالب is one who brings/introduces goods to the market, while المحتكر is one who hoards or withholds goods; the saying contrasts them.

    Does ‘brings goods to market’ render الجالب clearly without narrowing the supply route?
