Whoever Cheats Is Not of Me
مَا هَذَا يَا صَاحِبَ الطَّعَامِ. قَالَ أَصَابَتْهُ السَّمَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ أَفَلاَ جَعَلْتَهُ فَوْقَ الطَّعَامِ كَىْ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ مَنْ غَشَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي

Ma hadha ya sahibat-ta'am? Qal: asabathus-sama'u ya rasulallah. Qal: afala ja'altahu fawqat-ta'ami kay yarahun-nas? Man ghashsha falaysa minni
Translation
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) passed by a heap of food and put his hand into it, and his fingers became wet. He said, "What is this, O owner of the food?" He said, "It was hit by rain, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Why did you not put it on top so that people could see it? Whoever cheats is not of me."
