Narrated `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa: A man displayed some goods in the market and took a false oath that he had been offered so much for them though he was not offered that amount Then the following Divine Verse was revealed:-- "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths . . . Will get painful punishment." (3.77) Ibn Abu `Aufa added, "Such person as described above is a treacherous Riba eater (i.e. eater of usury).
(Sahih Bukhari Vol. 3, Book 48, Hadith 841)
Cheating in business is wrong. We live in times where making a quick buck is more important than holding onto our faith. May Allah keep us away from such lies and dishonesty. Ameen!
