2173 - قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الزُّبَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حُذَافَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَهَى عَنِ النَّجْشِ»

Commentary
Najsh is that a person does not intend to buy the goods, but he offers a bid merely to incite another needy buyer into paying a higher price. It is forbidden because it is cheating and is a loss for the buyer. Selling goods through bidding and auction is lawful.
