4617. It was narrated that Hakīm bin Ĥizām said: "I asked the Prophet ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allāh, a man may come to me and ask me to sell him something that I do not have. Can I sell it to him then go and buy it from the market?' He said: 'Do not sell what you do not have.'" (Hasan)
4613 - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، يَأْتِينِي الرَّجُلُ، فَيَسْأَلُنِي الْبَيْعَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَبِيعُهُ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ أَبْتَاعُهُ لَهُ مِنَ السُّوقِ، قَالَ: «لَا تَبِعْ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَكَ»

It is quite possible that you fail to obtain that thing from the market, or you might get it at a price higher than that stipulated.
