حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ أَحَدِ بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحْتَكِرُ إِلَّا خَاطِئٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ لِسَعِيدٍ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّكَ تَحْتَكِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَعْمَرٌ كَانَ يَحْتَكِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَسَأَلْتُ أَحْمَدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا الْحُكْرَةُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا فِيهِ عَيْشُ النَّاسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ الْمُحْتَكِرُ مَنْ يَعْتَرِضُ السُّوقَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: No one withholds goods till their price rises but a sinner. I said to Saeed (b. al-Musayyab): You withhold goods till their price rises. He said: Mamar used to withhold goods till their price rose. Abu Dawud said: I asked Ahmad (b. Hanbal): What is hoarding (hukrah) ? He replied: That on which people live. Abu Dawud said: Al-Auzai said: A muhtakir (one who hoards) is one who withholds supply of goods in the market.
