2246. It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin 'Amir said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to sell his brother goods in which there is a defect, without pointing that out to him.'" (Sahih)
2246 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَيُّوبَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شُمَاسَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ بَاعَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ بَيْعًا فِيهِ عَيْبٌ إِلَّا بَيَّنَهُ لَهُ»

Every Muslim should be a well-wisher of other Muslims. Any defect and shortcoming in the commodity on sale should be disclosed; because it may be that the defect does not have any bearing for the objective for which the buyer requires. The price of a fine quality item should not be set upon one of lower quality. Disclosing a defect of any commodity is honesty, and honesty is an important quality of a Muslim.
