3437. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ forbade going out to intercept (the caravans carrying) goods and if someone intercepts them and buys them, the owner of the products has the option (of cancelling the sale) when he reaches the marketplace. (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: Sufyān said: "Do not undersell one another" is that he says: 'I have a better one than him for ten.'"
3437 - حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيَّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ تَلَقِّي الْجَلَبِ، فَإِنْ تَلَقَّاهُ مُتَلَقٍّ مُشْتَرٍ فَاشْتَرَاهُ، فَصَاحِبُ السِّلْعَةِ بِالْخِيَارِ إِذَا وَرَدَتِ السُّوقَ»، قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا دَاوُدَ: يَقُولُ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: " لَا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ أَنْ، يَقُولَ: إِنَّ عِنْدِي خَيْرًا مِنْهُ بِعَشَرَةٍ "

The prohibition to meet the caravans bringing goods protects the society from a monopoly on necessary goods, and allows the sellers to bargain based upon the actual market values of the city.
