In order to see a practical example of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) dislike of cheating and deception we may refer to one report wherein the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed by a pile of food in the marketplace. After placing his hand inside it, he felt dampness even though the surface was dry. He said: “What is this, O seller of the food?” The man said, “It was rained on, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Why did you not put it (i.e. the part damaged by the rain) on top of the pile so that the people could see it? He who deceives does not belong to me.” According to other reports, “He who deceives us is not one of us,” or, “He is not one of us who deceives us.” [Bukhari and Muslim]
