2245 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَا عُهْدَةَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعٍ»

[1] Meaning, the seller is responsible for any defect found in the slave during that time.
Commentary
The meaning of the Hadith is when one buys a slave and then later finds a defect in him. If the buyer comes across the defect within three days and he wants to return him, then he may do so. He is not allowed to do so after three days. But this Hadith is Weak. It is a moral and religious duty of every seller to disclose, very clearly, the defect in whatever he sells.
