3245. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr used to say: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade offering more for something that has already been bought by his brother, or for a man to propose marriage to a woman when someone else had already proposed to her, unless the previous suitor gave up the idea or gave him permission." (Sahīh)
3243 - أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبِيعَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ، وَلَا يَخْطُبُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ الرَّجُلِ، حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْخَاطِبُ قَبْلَهُ، أَوْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ الْخَاطِبُ»
