2224. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by a man who was selling food. He put his hand in it and saw that there was something wrong with it. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, 'He is not one of us who cheats.'"(Sahih)
2224 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ يَبِيعُ طَعَامًا، فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَغْشُوشٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ غَشَّ»

The cheating involved in the grains was that some of the grains became wet because of rain. The seller put the dry grains at the top and thus the wet grains got covered beneath. (Sahih Muslim: 101) There are many forms of cheating, all of which are unlawful. For example: Trying to prove a lie as a truth with plausible conversation, presenting falsehood in the way of truth, not to disclose a defect in the goods, adulterating low quality products with that of fine quality; and then to sell it for the price of the finer quality. Using illegal means in exams like copying; or the examiner gives more marks to the student than what he/she deserves, are also a form of deception and cheating. It deprives the rightful people from their true right.
