2144. Narrated Abū Sa‘īd رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ forbade the selling by (1) (Ch. 61) As an example of Al-Gharar sale is to sell fish that are still not caught or a bird that has not been caught yet, etc. (2) (Ch. 62) The sale of Mulāmasa has different forms: The sale becomes valid on the buyer's touching the clothes without checking or looking at them. For example, one brings a folded garment, or in the dark and the buyer offers a price and the owner of the garment says, “I sell it to you on condition that you will only touch it, not see it, and if you see it, you have no option to cancel the sale.” Munābadha,(1) i.e., to sell one's garment by casting it to the buyer not allowing him to examine or see it. Similarly he forbade the selling by Mulāmasa. Mulāmasa is to buy a garment, for example, by merely touching it, not looking at it.

2144 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى عَنِ المُنَابَذَةِ»، وَهِيَ طَرْحُ الرَّجُلِ ثَوْبَهُ بِالْبَيْعِ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقَلِّبَهُ، أَوْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ «وَنَهَى عَنِ المُلاَمَسَةِ»، وَالمُلاَمَسَةُ: لَمْسُ الثَّوْبِ لاَ يُنْظَرُ إِلَيْهِ
