What is said if somebody buys a thing and gives it as a present to someone else at that very moment before separating from the seller, and the seller has had no objection to the buyer's action; or if someone buys a slave and then manumits him?

English translation

2116. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: I bartered my property in Khaibar(1) to 'Uthmān (chief of the faithful believers) for his property in Al-Wādi(2). When we finished the deal, I left immediately and got out of his house lest he should cancel the deal, for the tradition was that the buyer and the seller had the option of cancelling the bargain unless they separated. When our deal was completed, I came to know that I had been unfair to 'Uthmān, for by selling him my land I caused him to be in the land of Thamūd, at a distance of three days' journey from Al-Madīna, while he made me nearer to Al-Madīna, at a distance of three days' journey from my former land.

Arabic text

2116 - قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: بِعْتُ مِنْ أَمِيرِ المُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مَالًا بِالوَادِي بِمَالٍ لَهُ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَلَمَّا تَبَايَعْنَا رَجَعْتُ عَلَى عَقِبِي حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُرَادَّنِي البَيْعَ وَكَانَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنَّ «المُتَبَايِعَيْنِ بِالخِيَارِ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقَا» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: فَلَمَّا وَجَبَ بَيْعِي وَبَيْعُهُ، رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ غَبَنْتُهُ، بِأَنِّي سُقْتُهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ ثَمُودَ بِثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ، وَسَاقَنِي إِلَى المَدِينَةِ بِثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ
