MEASURING SHORT WHEN SELLING SOMETHING - Part 11

Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifa RE had a big clothes business. One day his shop received a clothes bundle which was defective. He told his employees to tell any prospective buyers about the defect in the clothes bundle. A few days later his employee sold the bundle but forgot to tell the buyer about the defect. When Imam Abu Hanifa RE asked him later he admitted that he had forgotten to tell the buyer about the defect. Imam Abu Hanifa RE started looking in the whole city for the buyer. When he found the buyer after a lot of searching he told him that the clothes bundle he had bought was defective so he should return it to the shop, though if he wanted to keep it that was his choice.
