2158. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Do not go to meet the caravans on the way (for buying their goods without letting them know the market price); a town dweller should not sell the goods of a desert dweller on behalf of the latter." Ibn 'Abbās was asked, "What does he mean by not selling the goods of a desert dweller by a town dweller?" He said, "He should not become his broker."

2158 - حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ تَلَقَّوُا الرُّكْبَانَ، وَلاَ يَبِعْ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: مَا قَوْلُهُ «لاَ يَبِيعُ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ» قَالَ: لاَ يَكُونُ لَهُ سِمْسَارًا
