Arabic text

3435 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ بَاعَ عَبْدًا، وَلَهُ مَالٌ فَمَالُهُ لِلْبَائِعِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ الْمُبْتَاعُ»

Commentary

This narration shows that the original thing which is being sold, if it has some thing extra with it, as it has been mentioned in the narration, it will not automatically become the property of the buyer, until and unless it is decided before the deal is complete.
