It is narrated in Kanz al-Ummal: ‘Ali used to go to the market and stand in his usual place to say, ‘Peace be upon you, O people of the market! Fear Allah in your oaths, for the oath degrades the commodity and drives away the blessing. The merchant is iniquitous except for he who takes and gives only what is right.
كان عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) يَجيء إلى السُّوقِ فيقومُ مَقاما له، فيقولُ: السّلامُ عليكم أهلَ السُّوقِ، اتَّقوا اللّهَ في الحَلْفِ، فإنّ الحَلفَ يُزجي السِّلْعَةَ ويَمْحَقُ البَرَكةَ، التّاجرُ فاجرٌ إلّا مَن أخذَ الحقَّ وأعْطاهُ .
