Arabic text

3519 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَفْلَسَ فَأَدْرَكَ الرَّجُلُ مَتَاعَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ، فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ»

Commentary

According to the situation mentioned in the narration, if the seller has not yet received the price of his property, and the property is still in the same condition as it was at the time of sale, and no changes have been made in it, the seller has the right to take back his property, and the deal will be considered as cancelled. If changes have been made in the property, then other claimants can also claim their share in it.
