English translation

3499. It was narrated from 'Ubaid bin Hunain, from Ibn 'Umar who said: "I bought some olive oil in the marketplace, and when it came into my possession I was met by a man who offered me a good profit for it, and I wanted to make a deal with him, but a man behind me took hold of my arm. I turned around and saw that it was Zaid bin Thâbit. He said: 'Do not sell it where you bought it until you take it to your place, for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade selling merchandise where it were bought, before the merchants moved them to their places.'" (Hasan)

3499 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: ابْتَعْتُ زَيْتًا فِي السُّوقِ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَوْجَبْتُهُ لِنَفْسِي، لَقِيَنِي رَجُلٌ فَأَعْطَانِي بِهِ رِبْحًا حَسَنًا، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عَلَى يَدِهِ، فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِي بِذِرَاعِي فَالْتَفَتُّ، فَإِذَا زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَبِعْهُ حَيْثُ ابْتَعْتَهُ، حَتَّى تَحُوزَهُ إِلَى رَحْلِكَ، «فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ تُبَاعَ السِّلَعُ حَيْثُ تُبْتَاعُ، حَتَّى يَحُوزَهَا التُّجَّارُ إِلَى رِحَالِهِمْ»
