1315. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by a pile of food. He put his fingers in it and felt wetness. He said: 'O owner of the food! What is this?' He replied: 'It was rained upon O Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Why not put it on top of the food so the people can see it?' Then he said: 'Whoever cheats, he is not one of us.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Abū Al-Ḥamrā', Ibn 'Abbās, Buraidah, Abū Burdah bin Niyār, and Ḥudhaifah bin Al-Yamān.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They dislike cheating and they say that cheating is unlawful.

Commentary
Cheating, deceiving and breaching the trust is against the faith, well being, and trust of the society. Therefore, the one who hides the defects and drawbacks of sale commodities acts against the norms of Islam. That is why the Prophet ﷺ said, "He is not from us."
