hadith 1674
Imam Ali (AS) said in a letter he wrote to al-Ashtar when he appointed him governor of Egypt, ‘Know - along with this - that most of the merchants and traders are very narrow-minded, and awfully avaricious. They hoard goods for profiteering and fix high prices for goods. This is a source of harm to the people, and a source of shame for the governors in charge. So stop people from hoarding, because verily the Messenger of Allah (SAWA) has prohibited it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ فيما كَتَبَهُ للأشتَرِ حينَ وَلاّهُ مِصرَ ـ : ... واعْلَمْ ـ مَع ذلكَ ـ أنّ في كثيرٍ مِنهُم ضِيقاً فاحِشاً ، وشُحّاً قَبيحاً ، واحْتِكاراً للمَنافِعِ ، وتَحَكُّماً في البِياعاتِ ، وذلكَ بابُ مَضَرَّةٍ للعامَّةِ ، وعَيْبٌ على الوُلاةِ ، فامْنَعْ مِن الاحْتِكارِ ؛ فإنَّ رسولَ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) مَنعَ مِنهُ .

الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ اللّهَ عزّوجلّ تَطَوّلَ على عِبادِهِ بالحَبَّةِ فسَلّطَ علَيها القُمَّلَةَ ، ولولا ذلكَ لخَزَنَتْها المُلوكُ كما يَخْزُنونَ الذَّهَبَ والفِضَّةَ.
