3503. It was narrated that Ḥakīm bin Hīzām said: "O Messenger of Allāh, people come to me wanting to buy something that I do not possess; should I buy it for them from the marketplace?" He said: "Do not sell that which you do not possess." (Hasan)

Arabic text

3503 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ فَيُرِيدُ مِنِّي الْبَيْعَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَفَأَبْتَاعُهُ لَهُ مِنَ السُّوقِ؟ فَقَالَ: «لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ»
