Anas reported that prices became high during the Messenger of Allah’s time. The people said: “Messenger of Allah, set prices for us.” He replied: “Allah is the One who sets prices, withholds, gives abundantly, and provides. I hope to meet my Lord without any of you having a claim against me for an injustice involving blood or property.” Abū ʿĪsā said: This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
