2191 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا بَاعَ الْمُجِيزَانِ فَهُوَ لِلْأَوَّلِ»

Commentary
The example of a transaction made by two persons is that an item belongs to two partners. Each of the two sold it to different people without telling the other. Or the agent sold it, and the owner also sold the same thing to someone without informing the agent; in this case whoever made the deal first, his deal will be correct and the other's deal will be annulled. Allāh knows best!
