00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			And so one time when the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Alaihi Wasallam, he was walking through the marketplace
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			in Medina, and you know back then they
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			used to sell everything out in the open.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Right? Open air market,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			the big vats of grain and things like
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			this. So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			was walking through the market, it had just
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			rained.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			So he's walking through the market, he sees
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			somebody selling wheat,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			but he notices something the wheat
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			is dry. He says in his head, he
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			said, that ain't right. It was just raining
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			a second ago. So he puts his hand
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			into the vat, he reaches underneath, and he
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			finds that it's wet underneath,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			but dry on top.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam confronts the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			man. He said, wait a second.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			How is it that your wheat is dry
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			on top and wet underneath?
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			And the merchant is honest, a 100%. He
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			says, listen, if I put the wet stuff
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			on top, no one's gonna buy it, so
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			I covered it up. That way I'll get
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			rid of it, and nobody will know.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			The Prophet
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			he said, whoever lies or cheats, he has
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			nothing to do with me.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			I'm free from him.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			He's not one of us.
