Hadith.3986 - Imam (as) said: "He who deceives a Muslim is not from us."

قَالَ ع‌ مَنْ غَشَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حُشِرَ مَعَ الْيَهُودِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَغَشُّ النَّاسِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ‌[3].

Hadith.3987 - Imam (as) said: "Whoever deceives the Muslims will be resurrected with the Jews on the Day of Judgment, because they are the most deceitful people towards the Muslims."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌[4] لَا يَتَلَقَّى أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَاماً خَارِجاً مِنَ الْمِصْرِ وَ لَا يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ ذَرُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَرْزُقِ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ‌[5].

Hadith.3988 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) said: "None of you should intercept food outside the city, and no resident should sell on behalf of a visitor. Leave the Muslims so that Allah (swt) may provide for some of them through others."

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ تَلَقِّي الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ لَا تَلَقَّ وَ لَا تَشْتَرِ مَا تُلُقِّيَ وَ لَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ لَحْمِ مَا تُلُقِّيَ‌[7].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about intercepting sheep. Imam (as) said: "Do not intercept, do not buy what has been intercepted, and do not eat the meat of what has been intercepted."

رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ حَدَّ التَّلَقِّي رَوْحَةٌ[1] فَإِذَا صَارَ إِلَى أَرْبَعِ فَرَاسِخَ فَهُوَ جَلْبٌ‌[2].

Hadith.3990 - It is narrated: "The limit for intercepting is the distance of a short journey, but if it reaches four farsakhs, then it is considered transportation."
