2199 - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ سُعَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَقَالَ مُسْلِمًا، أَقَالَهُ اللَّهُ عَثْرَتَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

Commentary
If one is given a choice at the time of making the deal to annul the sale; for example: a person says to the other that you are allowed to cancel the deal within such and such time, then the person given the choice may use this right to cancel the sale within the fixed time. But if the condition of choice does not exist, and the buyer wants to return the bought commodity; or the seller wants it back for the exchange of the same price, then either of the two parties should accept the request of the other, and should exchange the commodity and price. It is a deed of great reward. It will be seen as a moral duty but not a legal responsibility.
