5. Haggling is like an unequal measure, which is an abomination before the Lord.
   


6. It is evil to charge new visitors, travelers or strangers extra fees because they are new to a place. By this alone, you prove yourself unfaithful to God.
   


7. It is an abomination to deceive new visitors, travelers and strangers, and even more sinful is to put them in danger.
   


8. It is your duty to ensure the safety and comfort of visitors, travelers and strangers. Most of the time, you neglect this because you want to make false gain. Thereby, you choose money and reject God.

19. How can you be serving those who are wearing fine shoes, when you are wearing old and wretched slippers?
    


20. Your behaviour, in terms of personal hygiene is like pouring sand into a basin full of jollof rice. It is like putting curses on people, wishing them bad luck.
    


21. Many of you destroy your destiny and success with vulgar words you speak in public, bad words you say to insult people, etc.
    


22. You deprive people of their comfort and long life by jam-packing passengers, four in a seat, whereas they suppose to seat three in a seat.
