2081. It was reported from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Let not any of you give a proposal of marriage after the proposal of his brother, and let him not sell after his brother has sold, except with his permission." (Saḥīh)
2081 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَخْطُبْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ، وَلَا يَبِعْ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ، إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ»
