2114. Narrated Hākīm bin Hīzām: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Both the buyer and the seller have the option of cancelling or confirming the bargain unless they separate." The subnarrator, Hammām said, "I found this in my book: 'Both the buyer and the seller have the option of either confirming or cancelling the bargain three times, and if they speak the truth and mention the defects, then their bargain will be blessed, and if they tell lies and conceal the defects, they might gain some financial gain but they will deprive their sale of (Allāh's) Blessings.'"

2114 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «البَيِّعَانِ بِالخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا» قَالَ هَمَّامٌ: وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِي «يَخْتَارُ - ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ -، فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا، وَإِنْ كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا فَعَسَى أَنْ يَرْبَحَا رِبْحًا، وَيُمْحَقَا بَرَكَةَ بَيْعِهِمَا»، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الحَارِثِ، يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الحَدِيثِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
