2150. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Do not go forward to meet the caravan (to buy from it on the way before it reaches the town). And do not urge buyers to cancel their purchases to sell them (your own goods) yourselves, and do not practise Najsh. A town dweller should not sell the goods for the desert dweller. Do not leave sheep unmilked for a long time when they are on sale, and whoever buys such an animal has the option of returning it, after milking it, along with a Sā' of dates or keeping it."

Arabic text

2150 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لاَ تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبَانَ، وَلاَ يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، وَلاَ تَنَاجَشُوا، وَلاَ يَبِعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، وَلاَ تُصَرُّوا الغَنَمَ، وَمَنِ ابْتَاعَهَا فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِبَهَا، إِنْ رَضِيَهَا أَمْسَكَهَا، وَإِنْ سَخِطَهَا رَدَّهَا وَصَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ»
