2344. It was narrated from ('Uqbah bin 'Âmir or) Samurah bin Jundub that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "If a product is sold to two men, it is for the one who was first."[2] (Da'if)
(One of the narrators) Abu Al-Walid said: "This Hadith shows that Khalâs is invalid."
[1] Khalâs: A condition stipulating that the seller will deliver the product when it comes into his possession.
[2] "What was sold, or, for the first of the two purchasers." (Sindi). See no. 2190 where it preceded.

Commentary
The meaning of the Hadith is that if a person sells an item to someone; then the seller finds another customer who is willing to pay more, and asks the seller to take the item back somehow, and sell it to the new customer; this condition is wrong, as is the second transaction. Only the first sale is correct and legally lawful.
