2188 - حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ بَيْعُ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ، وَلَا رِبْحُ مَا لَمْ يُضْمَنْ»

a. A buyer is allowed to sell the purchased items to someone else, only after taking it in his control. Selling it before taking the control of it is not allowed. b. Control of things varies depending on the type of merchandise; as the control of transferable goods is to collect them. For example: to transfer the wheat away from the seller. As for the control of a purchase that cannot be transferred like a house; its control will be that the owner of the house moves out along with his things, and the buyer is allowed to move in to reside.
