What It Means: Reading in Context

This is the closing warning in a narration about buyers and sellers. The earlier wording discusses their option while they have not parted and connects truthful disclosure of the goods with blessing in the transaction. The card omits those earlier clauses. Keep the commercial setting visible when sharing this excerpt. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 2079. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.

REFLECTION · EDITORIAL

Describe an item or service honestly, including limitations that matter to the other person. Do not leave someone to discover an important defect only after they have agreed.

This reflection is not Qur’an, hadith or an authoritative tafsir.
