2145. It was narrated that Qais bin Abu Gharazah said: "At the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ we used to be called brokers, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ passed by us and called by a name that was better than that. He said: 'O merchants, selling involves (false) oaths and idle talk, so mix some charity with it.'" (Sahih)
2145 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي غَرَزَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُسَمَّى فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّمَاسِرَةَ، فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَمَّانَا بِاسْمٍ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَّارِ إِنَّ الْبَيْعَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ، فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»

This Hadith expresses the permissibility of a broker and commissioning agent, whereas the Ahādīth (2175-2177) are contrary to it. These Ahādīth can be reconciled thus; that helping a brother, out of sincerity without taking commission, in buying and selling the commodity is better, but receiving a salary or commission for it is disliked. Ibn Sirin, 'Atā, Ibrāhīm and Hasan, may Allāh have mercy on them, see no harm in the salary of an agent. Ibn Abbās ﷺ said: "There is no harm in saying, 'sell this clothe, and whatever is gained over such and such price is yours.'" Ibn Sirin said: "Sell this commodity for such and such, whatever the profit will be is yours. Or the profit will be divided between you and me." There is no harm in it." The Prophet ﷺ said: "The Muslims are bound to their conditions." (Sahih Al-Bukhārī: The Book of Hiring (37) Chapter: 14 The wages of a broker)
